What does a balace scale measure?
Balances mainly measure mass in grams. Mass. By comparing the mass of an object to a known mass. A balance measures mass or more accurately the normal force of an object.
What is a spring scale used to measure?
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 does the mass number identify?
The mass number identifies how much an objects weight is.
What Si unit replaces the pound. What does this measure?
kilogram is the SI unit for mass and weight, as said it measures the weight or mass.
What instrument will you use to find the mass of objects?
All you need is a scale. you should use a scale that measures in grams.
Why does a beam balance measure mass instead of weight?
Weight is a measure of gravitational attraction. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in something. Because a balance compares two or more bodies (the item you want to weigh and balace weights), it is comparing amounts of matter - it is comparing masses although it is also comparing weights. You can use a balance in space, or anywhere, and get the same answers. You do not if you use something like a spring balance, which measures weight.
What is beam balance use for?
A triple beam balance measures the mass of a sample by comparing weight. They are inexpensive and give precise measurements.
What tool measures mass or weight?
A balance scale or weight scale is a tool that measures weight or mass.
What is triple beam balance used for?
A triple beam balance measures the mass of a sample by comparing weight. They are inexpensive and give precise measurements.
What a triple beam balance used for?

What do weight and mass measure?
weight and mass measures the volume
How is a lever balance used to measure mass?
By comparing it to the weight of another mass.
What you trying to find mass what do you use?
A balance scale measures mass. A scale measures weight.
What does a balace scale measure?
Balances mainly measure mass in grams. Mass. By comparing the mass of an object to a known mass. A balance measures mass or more accurately the normal force of an object.
Does weight define an objects mass?
No, weight is a force. Mass is proportional to density.
Are objects masses?
Of course objects have mass because Mass is any object that has weight.
Which method of measuring weight involves comparing a persons weight and height?
The method of measuring weight involves comparing a person's weight and height is called BODY MASS INDEx.
