A scale does a fine job of making that measurement.
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight depends on both the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
No, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on it. The weight of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity.
No, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object with a certain mass. Weight is proportional to mass, but they are not the same thing.
No. The force of gravity is measured in newtons, like any other force.
Mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is not a force.
Weight is a measure of the action of gravity on a mass.
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.
Weight is a measure of how the mass of an object responds to a gravitational force.
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.
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.
No, mass is the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass. The force of gravity on an object depends on both its mass and the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force.
