Why is mass more useful than weight for measured matter?
Scientists prefer to rely on mass instead of weight when measuring because weight will change depending on location, whereas mass remains constant regardless of location. You could weigh 60 pounds on earth, but 10 pounds on the moon, but your mass would be the same on earth and the moon.
What is the difference between triple beam balance and a spring scale?
A triple beam balance measures mass by comparing the unknown mass to a set of standard masses on three beams with riders. A spring scale measures weight by the amount of stretch in a spring when an object is hung from it. Triple beam balances are more accurate for measuring mass, while spring scales are better for measuring weight.
What are the instruments you use to measure mass and weight of an object?
Balances are the most common method of measuring mass. These are instruments that use a counterweight to find the weight of something else.Some instruments for measuring mass are; for example; physical balance, analytical balance, and other devices.Refer to link below for more information.
How do weight and mass relate to each other?
Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
Heaviest planet revolving round the sun?
Jupiter is twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is more useful and more accurate to refer to the mass of planets, and not to their weight.
How do you find the mass of 150cm of water?
Weigh it (weight of container including water) minus weight of empty container. A length (cm) is not a suitable unit for measuring a quantity of water without more information.
The metric unit for measuring weight?
Weight is force. The SI unit for force is the Newton (N). However, in commerce and more general non-scientific usage, especially when limited to the Earth's surface, the words "weight" and "mass" are often used interchangeably. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).
What tool helps measure mass?
the mass measuring tools are: standard balance senstive balance and there are lot more types
What is the relation between mass and weight?
Weight is affected by gravity, but mass is not. weight is the pull of the gravity (probably from earth) then to get it you would combine mass or density, the gravity of the planet and the size or volume of what you are measuring However mass is just the amount of particles within an object, for example, if a lead block and a block of balsa wood, of the same size, were put on the scales then the lead would obviously weigh more, because it has a higher mas and therefore more particles and a higher weight : ) Hope that helps
Is the meter centimeter or millimeter more useful for measuring the width and length of your classroom?
It is by the meter
Is the meter centimeter or millimeter the more useful for measuring the length and width of the classroom?
meter
Why would you choose killigrams to measure the mass of an orange?
Kilograms are a more appropriate unit for measuring the mass of an orange because an orange typically has a mass that is in the order of kilograms. Using kilograms provides a more practical and accurate measurement than smaller units like grams or milligrams.
