Imagine a 500 pound glob of clay. If I took out .0000001 pounds of clay out of it, that would be an insignificant change in mass. Basically, if you take something out of something else and you hardly noticed it, that is an insignificant change.

Mass does not change during a chemical change how about for a physical change?

Physical changes are like cutting paper. The mass does not change. Chemical changes do not change total mass either. If you put a candle in a sealed container so that you may measure the total mass of the candle and the air before burning, then light the candle electrically but keep everything sealed, the total mass after burning will still be the same. But if you measure only the candle, then its mass has changed. So the mass of one single 'ingredient' will change during a chemical change.


If an objects volume is unchanged then how will its density change?

It won't change. Density is volume divided by mass, so if volume doesn't change, density doesn't change unless you change the mass of the object.


Is the mass of an object different if it is measured in us units and metric units?

The mass would not change, only the numbers describing the amount of mass would change.


What determines the extent of resistance to a change of motion?

The extent of resistance to a change of motion is determined by an objects mass. The mass of the object is measured in kilograms.


What is the property of body that resists any change in velocity?

The reluctance of a body to change its state of motion is termed inertia. The mass associated with this property is called its inertial mass, notably different from gravitational mass, which is responsible for objects with mass experiencing an attractive force between them. The inertial rest mass of an object is what gives it momentum.

Why is a loss or gain in mass of less than 0.01 grams considered to be insignificant change in mass?

That depends on the scale you're working in. If you are working with kilo grams the change is insignificant, but if you're working with 1,00 grams the change is significant.


What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?

More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).


What happens to the mass when a gas or liquid is heated?

The amount of mass does not change. The energy contained by the fixed mass increases.


When you cool a liquid will it become lighter?

Apart from insignificant effects due to the Special Theory of Relativity (less energy implies less mass), there will be no change in the mass, and therefore no change in the weight. The density of a liquid, however, will change, since the volume changes.


Is there any difference between the mass and the weight if they were at both the north pole and at the equator?

Mass would be the same at the equator and at the pole - except for an insignificant change due to the General Theory of Relativity. Weight would be more at the pole.


Does mass change on other planets due to gravity?

No. Except for insignificant effects related to Special Relativity, the mass remains constant. The weight, on the other hand, changes. Weight is calcualted as: weight = mass x gravity Where "gravity" is the acceleration due to gravity.

How does a plane's gravity change the path of a space probe?

Any such change would be insignificant.


What is a minor transition?

It basically means a small or insignificant change.


What happens to mass as acceleration increases?

As acceleration increases, mass does not change. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that remains constant regardless of its acceleration. However, an object's inertia, which is related to its mass, can influence how it responds to changes in acceleration.


Why does baines say jackie robinson breaking of yhe color is insignificant?

Baines says that Jackie Robinson's breaking of the wire is insignificant because it does not change the situation.


How do you spell insignificant?

Insignificant is the correct spelling.
