Verified Answer :

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.

Yes the answer is D i did the test and got an A.
