What is the unit of a measurement of a balance beam?
Grams
How do you use a balance to find balance?
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.
How scales work compared to balances?
In simple terms, the following can be said:A balance is used to caluculate the mass of an object in comparison to a known weight.A scale is used to measure the force exerted on a mass by the gravity of the earth, then to convert that measurement into a calculation of the object's mass.Therefore, we actually measure mass, not weight.A scale provides much more precise calculations than does a balance.
Measurement of the extent of an object along its greatest dimension?
Length
Ph scale in a sentence?
Here is a sentence: The pH scale is the measurement of how basic an object is or how acidic an object is.
What is the function of the measurement tray on a triple beam balance?
what is the function of a measurement tray on a triple beam balance
What is the function of flatform balanced?
A platform balance is used to get the measurement of a certain object and its platform is used to carry heavy weights. It can be used either to balance or to scale an object.
How is an eletronic balance different from a triple beam balance?
Electronic balances automatically find the mass of an object and provides the mass on a screen for you. A triple beam balance requires you to manually find the mass of an object and find the measurement.
What are the uses of a dissecting tray?
a dissecting tray is tray that you place the specimen or object on that is being dissected
What is the definition of a dissection tray?
a dissecting tray is tray that you place the specimen or object on that is being dissected.
What is meant by the phrase measurement is a process of comparison?
Measurement is a process of comparison between a certified standard or a calibrated measuring instrument and the object or the material to be measured (analyzed). For example, to measure a weight you compare the weight of an object with the calibrated weights of a balance.
What do you use when your measuring the mass of an object?
it is the scale to find the mass of a thing even liquid and solid
Does mass measurement include the effect of earth's gravitational pull on the object being measured?
Mass is not affected by gravity. When you measure the mass of an object with a balance, you would get the same result under any gravitational conditions except for under micro- or zero gravity, in which case there would be insufficient force to move the balance to equilibrium. If you use a spring balance, you are not getting a true mass measurement, you are getting a weight measurement that is normalized to provide the mass at that particular gravitation. In a micro- or zero gravity field, you can obtain the mass by measuring the vibration or oscillation of the object (pendulum action).
What is the unit of a measurement of a balance beam?
Grams
How does a spring balance work?
to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading. OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.
What do crankshifts have counter balance weights to?
Counter balance is usually the object that keeps another object in balance.
What is the function a balance?
to balance a object out.
