B.
The object’s mass and weight stay the same.
C.
The object’s mass changes, but its weight stays the same.
D.
The object’s weight changes, but its mass stays the same.

Answer 1

Answer;

D.  The object’s weight changes, but its mass stays the same.

Explanation;

• Mass is the amount of matter in a object, which is measured in kilograms. Mass of an object is measured using a beam balance. It is important to note that the mass of an object or a body remains constant, and does not vary from one place to another. For instance the mass of a person on the moon will be the same as when the person is on the earth surface.
• Weight on the other hand is the measurement of gravitational pull of an object. weight is measured using a spring balance and measured in Newtons. Weight varies from one place to another depending on the gravitational pull of a given surface.
