Which of the following would change on a planet with more gravity than Earth?

• mass
• amount of matter in an object
• weight
• spoken language

If the Earth's mass was cut in half; what would happen to your mass?

• it would increase because the gravitational force increases

• it would decrease because the gravitational force decreases

• it would increase because your mass would increase

• nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force
