In normal language, weight is referred to body mass, and that doesn't change.
But scientifically weight is a force. So acceleration (not just speed) does affect weight in that sense. Imagine, if you stand still on the scale you weight certain pounds, but if you jump down onto the scale, you increase the speed and the scale will think you weight like 300 pounds or something.

For normal speeds on earth, weight stays the same with speed.
However, as you get closer to the speed of light, your mass would increase, according to our current theories of physics. But weight is a relative measure (you weigh more on earth than on the moon, but your mass never changes).

mass increases at speeds approaching the speed of light, other than that, no.

No. Weight stays the same. Force may change, but you weigh the same in your car at 0 mph and you do at 55mph.

No change on a level slope. More during an incline, less during a decline. Laws of Physics.

yes, it does, that's why it's impossible to ever travel faster than the speed of light. you'll have too much mass and need infinite amounts of fuel to travel faster.

yes...... according to the theory of relativity propsed by ALBERT EINSTEIN .......
M=M0/\/1-V^2/C^2
M0=REST MASS
V^2=SQUARE OF THE VELOCITY WITH WHICH THE BODY IS TRAVELLING
C^2=SQUARE OF THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT
/\=SQUARE ROOT...
HOPE U GOT IT......... BYE....

Weight, no. Inertia, yes.
