grade 11 physics homework help please

here are the questions: a red hot iron bar is cooled to room temperature. Does the mass change?
why dont we notice the special effects of the theory of relativity in everyday life? Be specific

The mass isn't supposed to change.

we dont see relativistic effects in normal life because we are moving very slow compared to the speed of light. things need to move like .2c or something for an effect to be seen

according to the law of conservation of mass, nothing is made or lost after a chemical reaction. so i would assume no mass would be lost

Why would the mass change? Is this some sort of trick question?

Mass is constant

ok thanks guys what about this lst question? Suppose the speed of light were infinite. What would happen to the relativistic predictions of length contraction, time dilation, and mass increase?

no because mass is constant
we are too used to the effects
idk

Mass doesn't change

No idea about theory of relativity though

The mass do not change when the iron bar is cooled.
We don't see the effects of the theory of relativity because we are not moving fast enough.
