A double pan balance... A balance scale... Remember how the dusty 49'r cashed in his gold at the Well's Fargo in 1850?

What determines the mass of an objects?
The only "weigh" to determine the mass of an object is to compare it with the mass of a known object. The mass of an object is determined by force and acceleration.
A device that works by comparing the mass of an object to a known mass is called?
double pan balance
A device that works by comparing the mass of an object known a mass called a?
A Balance scale A double pan scale
How do you use a balance to find mass?
When your making a homemade balance to find mass, take the mass of a known object, like pennies (2.6 grams) and compare it with the unknown object. When both are equaled to each other, then you know that the unknown object is 2.6 grams or a little more than that.
Compare and contrast mass and weight?
mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the gravitational pull on an object mass x gravity = weight
How does a spring balance measure the mass of an object?
A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the value of gravitational acceleration to calculate the mass from the weight.

What is the device comparing the mass of an object to a known mass?
The device used for comparing the mass of an object to a known mass is a double pan balance, or a balance scale. This is a type of weighing scale where you put weights on one pan and the substance you are weighing on the other.

How does the mass of an object on earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
there is no change in the mass of body
How does the mass and the object on the earth compare with the mass of the same object on the moon?
The object's mass doesn't change, no matter where it is or where it goes.
How does the shape of an object compare and contrast to the mass of the object made of the same substance and mass?
The shape of an object bears no relation to the mass of an object.
How do you measure the mass of an object that is irregularly shaped?
You compare its mass with something of known mass. In everyday earthbound conditions, this would mean weighing it on a set of weighing scales or on a spring balance.
How does the mass of an object compare to the mass of its parts?
the mass is the same because think about it you made the object from its parts so they would be the same
