    The document discusses a question from the online course "Gravity! From the Big Bang to Black Holes" on the learning platform FutureLearn. The question asks about the mass of a 60 kg person at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and provides multiple choice answers. The correct answer, selected by the learner, is that the person's mass remains 60 kg, since mass is invariant and only weight changes with altitude due to differences in gravitational attraction. The lead educator Pierre Binétruy confirms this is right, as the quantity of matter does not change.

    Q3
    If your mass is 60 kg at sea level, what is it at an altitude of 10 000 m? Beware, we are talking mass here, not
    weight!

    55.2 kg

    60 kg

    64.6kg
    Correct

    Pierre Bintruy (Lead Educator)


    Mass is invariant because the quantity of matter in your body does not change. Only weight is changing,
    because the gravitational attraction of the Earth decreases as you get further from its centre.
