A hot object produce a lowering of air density around the balance and this produce an error in balance reading.
The sample must have the same temperature as the balance. Balances are frequently designed to work correct at 20 oC.

Can matter be weighed?

Yes, matter can be weighed using a scale or balance. The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force acting on it. By measuring this force, we can determine the mass of the object.


What object could represent determination?

Car keys


What is the weight of an object that has a mass of 33.75 grams?

The weight depends on the force of gravity at the point where the object is weighed.


If an object weighed 150 lbs on earth what does it weigh on Pluto?

about 9 pounds


Can a solid be weighed?

Yes, a solid can be weighed on a scale. The weight of a solid is the force exerted by gravity on the object, which can be measured in units like grams or kilograms.

What would you get if you weighed the earth?

Depends where you weigh it. This is really pedantic but weight is a force acting on an object due to gravity, not an inherent characteristic of the object. The Earth has a mass of 6.0x1024 kg. If you weighed it on the Earth (?) it would weigh 6.0x1025 Newtons but on the moon just 7.21023 N.


How much would an object weigh on earth if it weighed 100 ponds on Pluto?

An object that weighs 100 pounds on Pluto would weigh 262 pounds on Earth, assuming the same mass of the object. This is because weight is proportional to the gravitational force acting on an object, and the gravitational force is stronger on Earth than on Pluto.


What is the mass of an object that weighs 115 pounds?

A pound is a measure of mass, not weight so an object cannot weigh 115 pounds. Assuming that you meant the object weighed 115 poundals, the answer is 1.62 kilograms.


What is Jupiter's surface gravitational force?

An object that weighed 100 pounds, would weigh 236 pounds on Jupiter.


What would be the reading on forcemeter if An object is weighed in air and in water?

i believe, and i may be wrong, bet the force required to move the object in the water will be less than the force required to move the object through the air. the best bet for you to see this is to try it for yourself.
