An object's mass will always be greater than its weight

As mass increases, weight will also increase
As mass increases, weight will also increase

As mass increases, weight stays the same
As mass increases, weight stays the same

As mass increases, weight will decrease

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the relationship between mass and weight is:

**As mass increases, weight will also increase.**

This is because weight is the force experienced by an object due to gravity and is directly proportional to mass (Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration). Thus, if the mass of an object increases, its weight will also increase if the gravitational field strength remains constant.
