Some of them use. The most modern instruments, don't.

Is mass a measure of force of gravity acting on the object?
No. Mass is a characteristic that exerts a force of gravity on another mass. The measure of force is the Newton. The Newton uses mass as part of the factors that go into the calculation.
Is mass or weight the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
Is weight a measure of the quantity of matter?
NO, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Weight=mass x gravity
Does mass vary according to the force of gravity?
No, mass does not vary according to the force of gravity. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight, however, is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object; as such, weight varies according to gravitational field strength.
Is mass the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
Yes it is.
What other instruments are used to measure force besides a dyno?
A spring balance using a known mass will enable you to measure the force due to gravity [or acceleration].
Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
Does gravity have an affect on mass?
No. Mass (e.g. grams) is a measure of matter, and is independent of gravity. Weight (e.g. pounds) is a measure of force and is directly related to gravity.
Is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
Weight is a measure of this force?
Weight is a measure of the action of gravity on a mass.
What do we measure when detererming weight that we don't measure when detererming mass?
Gravity.
Is mass a measure of force of gravity acting on the object?

Is mass or weight the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
Is a pound a measure of mass?
No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)
In mass and weight what is less than one?
Mass is the amount of matter. Weight had to do with gravity. Weitht is the force of gravity on mass. Some times we use gravity to measure mass such as a spring scale. That does not mean that gravity and mass are the same thing.
What instruments should you use to measure mass?
A scale or a balance
What is the instrument for mas?
There are many instruments for mas. Some of the instruments are volume, mass, weight, liter, gram, gravity and meter.
