What are the gravity levels on earth?
The unit of measurement used to measure gravity (G's) is actually based off of Earth's gravitational pull; one G is the level of gravity on Earth.
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.
How do you know there's gravity on earth?
Gravity holds the planet together as a 'ball' and you on it. It also makes things fall. We can measure this so we know the force of gravity on earth and can calculate it for other planets and stars.
What measures the strength of earth's gravitational pull?
Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity attracts an object. Earth isn't the only thing that has gravity; all physical objects have gravity.
How does gravity let us measure masses of astronomical bodies?
More mass = more gravity. From the movement of an object, rather from its acceleration, the mass of any object that attract it can be calculated.
What instrument used to measure the specific gravity of urine is called?
A refractometer.
What instrument would the technician use to measure both the urine specific Gravity and the protein levels of the blood?
Refractometer
How does a refractometer works?
There are four main types of refractometers: traditional handheld refractometers, digital handheld refractometers, laboratory or Abbe refractometers, and inline process refractometers. There is also the Rayleigh Refractometer used (typically) for measuring the refractive indices of gases.In veterinary medicine, a refractometer is used to measure the total plasma protein in a blood sample and urine specific gravity.
How you can measure specific gravity of Diesel?
no
How do you measure of how salty water is?
Specific gravity.
What is an Abbe refractometer?
An Abbe refractometer is an instrument used to measure the refractive index of a liquid, by utilizing the critical angle for total reflection.
How do oceanographers measure the salinity of ocean water?
Oceanographers measure the salinity of the ocean by hand held refractometer, hydrometer, and conductivity meter.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
What is refrectomter?
Instrument used to measure the index of refraction of a substanceSource: refractometer
You would like to convert specific gravity to dencity?
It is spelled "density" and specific gravity is a measure of density and so does not need to be converted.
What does the specific gravity (SG) of urine measure?
The density of urine
Why do scientists use specific gravity?
I believe the reason behind using specific gravity is that it is easier to measure (especially when you're measuring it for a solid).
