Let's delve into your questions regarding mass and weight.
2. **On which planet would the wooden crate of twinkies have the greatest mass?**
- The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains and does not change regardless of location. Therefore, the wooden crate of twinkies would have the same mass on any planet, including Earth, Mars, or Jupiter. Mass is an intrinsic property.
3. **Does the mass of the box of twinkies change during Rosa's travel from Earth to Pluto? Justify your answer.**
- No, the mass of the box of twinkies does not change during Rosa's travel. Mass is a constant property of matter, and it does not depend on the location in the universe. The box of twinkies retains its mass whether it is on Earth, in space, or on Pluto.
4. **Does the weight of the box of twinkies change during the trip? Justify your answer.**
- Yes, the weight of the box of twinkies does change as Rosa travels from Earth to Pluto. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational pull acting on the object. Since the gravitational force varies from planet to planet and even in space, the weight of the crate will differ; it will be greatest on Earth and will decrease as Rosa moves farther from Earth and approaches Pluto, where the gravitational pull is weaker than that of Earth.
5. **Will the mass of the twinkies change if Mr. Rhoads eats 9? Justify your answer.**
- Yes, the mass of the twinkies will change if Mr. Rhoads eats 9 of them. By consuming 9 twinkies, he is physically removing part of the original mass of the twinkies from the box. Therefore, the total mass of the remaining twinkies in the box will be less than it was before he ate them, reflecting the loss of mass from the consumed twinkies.
