Answer:

Mass, according to the modern definition, does not depend on velocity. It is an invariant quantity.

Answer:

Yes, it depends on velocity but in some special cases only.

Explanation:

Yes because for a lot of time people thought that mass is the measure of content a body has but after coming of the Newton's Second Law of Motion and the popular equation F=ma, we learnt that mass is actually the the measure of inertia a body possesses and vary inversely with acceleration. Now let's take an example :

When a body reaches the velocity of light (i.e. 300000 km/s), it's acceleration increases drastically and so it's mass reduces drastically.

Hope you would have understood that mass isn't always invariant and how it can be changed by changing velocity.

Read the whole explanation to understand. The sentence in the italics is the example but to understand the example read the above notes.
