What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
What unit is used to measure with a balance?
A balance is used to measure either mass or weight. The corresponding units are kilograms (for mass) and newton (for weight).
What unit of force is used to measure weight?
what is the measurement is used to measure fluid
Why the word 'carat' used in society as weight?
Carat is used appropriately to measure the weight of gemstones, as pounds, tons or kilos are used to measure the weight of mass.
How is a lever balance used to measure mass?
By comparing it to the weight of another mass.
What metric units would be used to measure the mass of a your weight?
Mass and weight are two different things: you cannot measure the mass of your weight. That is like talking about the temperature of your height - it makes no sense.
A spring scale is used to measure weight and a what is used to measure mass?
An equal-arm balance.
Is weight used to measure force?
Yes! weight is mass times gravity
Why is an object mass rather than its weight used as a measure of the amount of matter it contains?
Mass instead of weight is used to measure the material that matter contains b/c mass is constant at all positions but weight changes with position.
What unit do you use to measure weight or mass?
weight or mass is measured in kg, g. Mg can also be used.
Why are different tools used ro measure mass and weight?
Mass balances for mass, Newton meters for weight (as weight is a force) are for everyday measurements and basic laboratory experiments as they provide sufficient accuracy and are less technical . For smaller masses mass spectroscopy is used to measure microscopic particles (though this is given in mass/charge ratio) as it is difficult to move a single atom. In space, where there is no gravity and in fact most devices only measure weight and convert this into mass by W= mg; mass is calculated using the spring oscillation formula which means time of oscillation squared is directly proportional to mass. Also mass and weight are not the same thing as one is a force and one is a measure of how much acceleration a force produces.
What is used to measure the mass of cup of tea?
Usually a scale. Get the weight and convert to mass.
