What is the type of force measured by a grocery store spring scale is?
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
What is a instrument to measure the weight?
The most common ways to measure weight are: # a force meter, also called a "weight scale" or "weigh scale", where the weight being measured is used to compress a spring by a measurable amount, or # a balance, where the effect of gravity on one pan/arm is compared to an assemblage of known mass(es) on an opposing arm(s).
What was the boiling point of water as measured using the römer temperature scale?
His temperature scale set the boiling point of water at 60 and the freezing point at 7.5.
Why is the reading on the spring scale equal to the friction force in each case?
A scale is a force indicator. The reading on a scale is simply telling you what force is being applied. If you try dragging an object across the floor using a spring scale, you are applying a force to the spring scale which is applying a force to the object. The spring scale cannot put more force on the object than you are putting on the scale, and it has to put all of the force that you put on it on the object you are pulling. The only other force on the object besides your pulling force is friction. If the object is traveling at a constant velocity, the forces on it are equal. That means that your pulling force has to equal the force of friction. The scale that you are using will read the amount of force you are putting on the object which will tell you how much friction is pulling backwards on the object because these forces are equal strengths.
What instrument measures the mass of a pin?
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of a known quantity.Balance scale. Measures "weight" on Earth, but the result is easily converted to Mass.
What is measuring using a spring scale?
Force. Often Measured in Newtons (N).
How force is measured?
The SI units of force are newtons. They're generally measured using something like a spring scale.
What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?
I just read that you can weigh anything on it.
Do a spring scale measures mass?
Weight is the property measured by a spring scale. That is Mass X Acceleration.
How is weight measured?
Diamonds, like all gemstones, are weighed in carats.
What sort of scale is used to measure force?
A [Newton] spring scale, and the type of force measured is newtons. (Sometimes it is called a Newton spring scale because he invented it)
How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
What measured weight and mass?
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of another.Mass is measured by physical balance.Weight is measured by a spring balance.
How is intensity or energy of earthquakes measured?
Using the Richter scale, a logarithmic scale.
How acidity and alkalinity measured?
Using the pH scale.
What does the stretch of a spring scale measures?
When you pull on the scale you stretch the spring the pointer on the scales moves as you pull to measure the force you are using you have to be able to lift or pull on the spring scale
What is the type of force measured by a grocery store spring scale is?
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
