Lets say a heavy object was resting on Earth and suddently it lost allot of mass.
Will the object go up? (The loss of mass happened instantly )
Will the object go up? (The loss of mass happened instantly )
If the object was being compressed by it's own weight (like a spring, the top would be compressing the lower coils) if that weight was instantly reduced the spring would expand away from the Earth as the potential energy is released from the spring.RedLine said:Will the object go up?

What do the laws of physics predict if we violate the laws of physics?RedLine said:I understand that a suddent loss of mass can't happen but in theory what would happen?
As has been pointed out, the question is not consistent with the laws of classical physics as we know them, so the question as posed cannot be answered.RedLine said:If the mass of this cubic object changed to 1 kg instantly keeping the same volum.
An object on Earth can suddenly lose mass due to a variety of factors, such as chemical reactions, evaporation, or physical impact.
Yes, the object's gravitational pull will change after losing mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so a decrease in mass will result in a decrease in gravitational pull.
Sudden mass loss will decrease an object's density. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, so a decrease in mass will result in a lower density.
Yes, an object on Earth can lose mass without any external influence through natural processes such as radioactive decay or sublimation (solid to gas).
The consequences of sudden mass loss for an object on Earth can vary depending on the specific circumstances. It could change an object's physical properties, affect its stability and movement, and potentially impact its surrounding environment. In extreme cases, sudden mass loss could lead to structural collapse or catastrophic events.
