Answer: false .

Explanation: Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object. The mass of an object will never change, but the weight of an item can change based on its location.

For example, you may weigh 100 pounds on Earth, but in outer space you would be weightless.Mass never changes. Weight, which is a product of mass times gravity, may change due to a difference in gravity

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\textbf{False}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of weight:

  • The gravitational force acting on a body is called weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the body changes with different factors concerned e.g. height h, acceleration due to gravity g etc.

We know that,

W = mg

Mass is a constant quantity, however g changes with the altitude or place. Consequently, weight also does not remain constant.

Example:

An object having mass 1 kg will have a weight of 9.8 N on Earth while its weight on moon will be 1.6 N due to the difference in the values of g.
