Question

If an object leaves Earth's gravitational field and floats in space, which one of the following will change?

A. The object's mass.
B. The object's weight.
C. Neither the mass nor the weight of the object will change.
D. Both the object's mass and weight.

Answer 1

Answer: B. The object's weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight depends on gravity and is a measure of how much force gravity exerts on an object. Mass is the measure of how much matter is in an object and doesn't depend on gravity. In space, mass doesn't change but weight does.
