What is the difference between mass and weigth?
mass refers to the just measuring how much the object is or simply the quantity of matter contained in it weight refers to the measuring of the object with respect to the gravitational pull... we have the equation (netwton's law) force=mass*acceralation(a) weight =mass*gravitaional pull(constant)
What is the difference between mass and capacity?
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
What is the mass of 64.44 grams?
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
What is the difference between mass and weight explain?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
What is the difference between a measuring spoon and a scale?
scale measures force and/or mass; spoon measures volume
What is different about weight and mass measurement?
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring?
Because is mass is more accurate than weight.
Why do people tend to confuse the term mass and weight?
The difference is largely unknown to the general public. Moreover, most people do not have a means of measuring mass. Basically, unless the person has taken a physics course (and paid attention) they probably do not know there is even a difference between the two.
Are mass and weight the same or same thing?
They are quite different things. The relationship between the two is: weight = mass x gravity.For more information about the difference between the two, check the Wikipedia article on "Mass versus weight".
Metric unit for measuring weight?
The SI unit for measuring weight (the force due to gravity) is the newton.The SI unit for measuring mass is the kilogram.
What is a measuring scale measure?
you're weight hahaha
