Does mass in motion increases in weight?

Question

with the motion of the earth around the sun I am too in motion and thats why I know now as to why my weight is increasing. hi hi hi

Answer 1

does a mass in motion increase in weight?hmmmmm...

motion is classified as kinetic energy.kinetic energy is classified as energy.so motion is energy.Einsteins E=MC2 says that energy and matter are = ,and can be converted into each other.this means that any gain in energy can be considered a gain in matter and vise versa.a mass in motion has kinetic energy therefor the kinetic energy it has is treated as matter.this new matter creates a grater mass.weight is the measure of gravity's affect on a mass.because the mass increases gravity affects it more giving it a greater weight!

so i guess that a mass in motion dose increases in weight[and mass]

Answer 2

Isn't weight just a measurement of gravity's effect on an object's mass? I know for sure mass doesn't change while in motion so why would the weight? Unless the object was moving towards or away the earth in which case the effect of gravity would change ever so slightly as the distance between the mass and earth is altered, there seems to be no reason why mass in motion should change in weight.

Answer 3

Well a mass in acceleration increases in weight. Not just moving but it must be either changing direction and/or speed.

Weight is the same thing as force.

Force is mass while in acceleration, not just motion.

Acceleration is how fast the velocity of an object changes.

So if the mass stays constant and the velocity is constant there is no change in force (and concurrently weight).

Answer 4

Special relativity states that the closer you get to the speed of light (by accelerating), the more your weight must increase. Just merely being in motion is too vague. However, an object that is initially at rest with respect to some frame of reference and accelerates to a given velocity will also pick up an increase in weight in comparison to its rest weight.

However, if you assume, for the purposes of simplification, that your object has an initial velocity and did not attain it by acceleration, then the object will not gain any weight by the mere act of being in motion. It must accelerate to gain weight.

I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Einstein theory of relativity:
Mass increases as velocity increases as per:
Mv = Mo / sqr(1 - v/c).
Mv mass a v speed, Mo mass at rest,
v velocity, c speed of light.
As v increases, the ratio v/c tends to 1, so the Mv increases.
When v = c, Mv is infinite.
Since that, to accelerate an object, you need energy, if the mass increases to infinity, so is the requirement of force (energy) to accelerate it. Hence you need an infinite amount of energy to accelerate to the speed of light, hence nothing can go faster than light (unless the initial mass is 0, in which case you have 0/0 = undefined).

Answer 6

following einsteins mass velocity equation the answer would be yes . . . . .as the vel increases so does the mass . . . . . .but a slow speeds i.e v<

Answer 7

hi.

First of all , mass is a complicated quantity whose value will "vary" with high speed changes like increasin to about speed of light.

Talking about wieght , it is basically ma an 'a' here is relative acceleration of the body with respect to earth( or any other big celestial body , in case of earth = 9.8 m/s*s). As far as i know , its wieght can vary if body moves up or down .

Answer 8

NO
the mass of a body decreases as the velocity of the body increases
it states that the mass of a body is not conserved

Answer 9

mass & weight have diff defination, if your weight is increasing, cause of your diet, in only that case mass will increasing its weight, when mass can travel near velocity of light, cause ultimatly atom of light convert in mass, when & where it convert that scintist doesnt know but if e=mc^2 is possible then m= e/c^2 is also possible, may be that was the simple answer.

Answer 10

YES, if you in a class setting , and i would have to assume not new to most (given) rules,laws etc...this has been understood for about 80 years, you should know this...
