A spring scale measures weight.
It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale.
A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant.
However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.

What is a spring scale used for?
A spring scale is used to measure the weight of an object by the stretching of a spring. It is commonly used in schools, laboratories, and households to measure the force exerted by an object due to gravity.
What is another name for a spring scale?
Another name for a spring scale is a dynamometer. It is a device used to measure the force exerted on an object by a spring.
What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?
A spring scale measures force in newtons. It works based on Hooke's law, which states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension or compression of the spring. The scale calculates the amount of force required to extend or compress the spring.
What does a spring scale measure?
A spring scale measures the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It does this by stretching a spring based on the weight of the object, which can then be read as a measure of the force in units such as pounds or newtons.
What would you use to measure newtons?
A Tubular Spring scale.
What is a spring scale for?

How do you use spring scale in a sentence?

A spring scale is used to measure weight and a what is used to measure mass?
A spring scale is used to measure weight, which is the force acting on an object due to gravity. A balance scale is typically used to measure mass, which is the amount of matter in an object.
How is a spring scale used to measure weight?
A spring scale is used to measure weight by attaching the object to be weighed to the hook of the scale. The gravitational force acting on the object causes the spring inside the scale to stretch or compress, leading to a reading on the scale that corresponds to the weight of the object.
Which physical would you measure with a spring scale?
You would measure weight.
What kind of scale is used to measure weight?
Scales used to measure weight include: * Spring scale - measures the increased length of a spring as it stretches * Balance scale - uses a horizontal lever to compare unknown weights to that of known weights
What is the 'N' on the spring scale?
The N on a spring scale should measure newtons but I'm not 100% sure.
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)
Can a spring scale measure a fish?
If the fish does not struggle (it would have to be dead not to) and above water, then you can measure a spring scale.
