What do Scientists use as quantity to measure force?
gravity
Do instruments that measure mass make use of gravity?
Yes, instruments that measure mass usually rely on gravity to function. They measure the force of gravity acting on an object to determine its mass. The mass of an object is directly proportional to the force of gravity acting on it.
Why use mass and not weight?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass is constant regardless of location, but weight changes depending on the strength of gravity. In scientific calculations and comparisons, mass is a more consistent and reliable measure.
How can you use the word gravity in a sentence?
Examples: -Weight is the the measure of the force of gravity pulling on an object. -The force that pulls objects toward each other is called gravity.
Do you use a spring scale when meausing the mass of an object?
No, a spring scale is used to measure weight, not mass. To measure mass, you would typically use a balance scale or electronic scale. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity.
What to you use to measure the amount of force needed to pull something?
You would use a device called a dynamometer to measure the amount of force required to pull something. Dynamometers typically come in forms such as a spring scale or electronic load cell. They are commonly used in various industries for testing and measuring purposes.
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
Can you use a force meter to measure weight?
Yes, a force meter can measure weight because weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. By using a force meter to measure the force acting on an object placed on the meter, you can determine its weight.
How can gravity be measured?
Gravity can be measured many ways. You can drop an object and observe how it falls and determine the objects acceleration. With that in hand you can then calculate the force required, and measure gravity that way. You can use a scale, and determine the force acting upon the object placed on it to compress the springs a certain distance, or deflect it a certain distance (depending on the scale's design). A pendulum can be used to measure gravity. The period of a pendulum is directly influenced by the magnitude of the accelerating force (gravity) you can measure altitude with a sensitive pendulum. As gravity is a force, any method you would use to determine the force of one object exerting upon another would work to measure 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 to use to measure force?
A spring scaleYou use a dynamometer to measure force.
Is mass a accurate measure of weight?
While mass can be a measure of weight in day to day use (ie The box weighed 15 kg) technically it is actually a measure of how much gravitational force an object exerts. This is how the term mass is used in physics.
