What else can I help you with?
The use of a triple-beam balance to determine the mass of a rock is an example of measuring by using?
a direct comparison with a standard
How do you measure mass using a triple beam balance?
Because it is a weight measuring instrument which is able to measure weights to an accuracy of about 5 to 10 gram. Spring Balances which are commonly for cooking measures,are not very sensitive or accurate. You can only get an accuracy within about 20 grams with spring balances.
What is used to measure a mass of a piece of stone?
To measure the mass of a stone a top pan balance is used
How do you overcome parallax error in an experiment?
Parallax error can be corrected by: > Placing the eye vertically above the marking on the scale to be read. If you are measuring a length of an item, say the length of a book, using a metre-rule, I would advise the following pointers: a) Placing your metre-rule on its edges beside the object to be measured, so the scale is touching it. b) Use a thin rule so that the scale is touching the object to be measured. If you are measuring the volume of liquid in a measuring cylinder for example, make sure you positioned your eye to take readings at the bottom of menicus for water and top of menicus for mercury.
How do you take reading in travelling microscope by using the vernier scale reading from 0.6 to 1.0?
Their Vernier scale consists of two readings; the Vernier scale and the main scale. One can read that by the first line is the main scale and the next line is the Vernier reading.
What are the laboratory apparatus using for measuring?
balance scale
If you are using a balance scale than you are measuring mass in what?
You are measuring mass in any system for which you have standard masses.
If someone is using a balance during a laboratory experiment what are they measuring?
Measuring how heavy an object is compared to another object.
What can be used to compare the objects of mass?
Objects can be compared based on their mass using a balance scale, a spring scale, or by measuring their weight using a tool like a digital scale. The units for mass are typically measured in grams or kilograms.
What to do with the riders of a balance scale when measuring an object?
To measure an object using a balance scale, place the object on one side of the scale pan. Then, adjust the riders on the other side of the scale until the scale balances. The total weight of the object can be determined by adding up the values indicated by the riders.
What are the disadvantages of using a balance scale?
Disadvantages of using a balance scale include the need for careful calibration and precision, limitations in measuring very small or very large masses accurately, and susceptibility to external factors like air currents or vibrations that can affect measurements.
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.
A way of collecting data using tools such as a balance?
The answer is Measuring.
What is a way of collecting data using tools such as a balance?
measuring
What Use of dietetic scale?
A kitchen device used to measure the weight of ingredients and other food. Kitchen scales are available in balance or spring models. A balance scale will give a more accurate reading than a spring scale. Using a scale will result in a more accurate measurement of the ingredients than by measuring it by volume. Scales are available in manual and digital models.
What things can you weigh using a balance scale?
money
How is the mass of an object measured with a scale a balance a graduated cylinder or a thermometer?
The mass of an object is typically measured using a scale by comparing it with known weights. A balance also functions by comparing the mass of the object with known masses on the opposite side. A graduated cylinder is used for measuring volume, not mass. A thermometer measures temperature, not mass.
