Best Answer

For example, the instrument to measure the force may have a spring. The elongation (extension) of the spring would be proportional to the force.

Why there is no force of attraction between closer objects?

If you mean gravitational attraction, there is such a force between ANY two objects. The force depends on the distance (if two objects are closer, the attraction is stronger), and on the masses involved (if the masses are larger, the force is larger). The masses of "everyday" objects, for example two people, are so small (for the purposes of the gravitational force) that the force is hard to measure.


When is gravity zero?

The force of gravitational attraction between two masses is never zero. There is a force of gravitational attraction between a hair on your head and the smallest moon in the farthest galaxy. The force may be too small to measure, but it's never zero.


Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?

No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.


Weight is a measure of force called?

Weight is a measure of the mutual forces of attraction between the earth and any object.The forces are due to a property of space called "gravity".


How would you find the mass of an object by math?

-- Measure the force of attraction between the object and the earth. ("WEIGH" the object.)-- Divide the force by the acceleration of gravity.-- The answer is the mass of the object.

How do you measure mass and temperature?

Mass is measured with a balance and temperature with a thermometer. cw: Mass (gravitational): Usually you measure the force of its attraction to Earth. Mass(kinetic): Usually you measure the acceleration from a given force. Temperature can also be measured by its radiation spectrum (e.g., a star).
