What piece of equipment do you use to measure a WEIGHT?

A scale or balance is typically used to measure weight. These devices provide a numerical measurement of an object's mass in units such as grams or kilograms.


What is the weight difference between earth and neptune?

Strictly speaking you should say "mass" for this sort of question. Anyway Neptune's mass is about 17 times the Earth's mass.


EXPLAIN the difference between the mass of an object and the weight of an object No definitions?

Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.


What is the atomic mass in Hindi?

The atomic mass (ma) is the mass of a specific isotope, most often expressed in unified atomic mass units.[1] The atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons and electrons in a single atom.[2]The atomic mass is sometimes incorrectly used as a synonym of relative atomic mass, average atomic mass and atomic weight; these differ subtly from the atomic mass. The atomic mass is defined as the mass of an atom, which can only be one isotope at a time and is not an abundance-weighted average as in the case of atomic weight. In the case of many elements that have one dominant isotope the actual numerical similarity/difference between the atomic mass of the most common isotope and the relative atomic mass or standard atomic weights can be very small such that it does not affect most bulk calculations-but such an error can be critical when considering individual atoms. For elements with more than one common isotope the difference even to the most common atomic mass can be half a mass unit or more (e.g. chlorine). The atomic mass of an uncommon isotope can differ from the relative atomic mass or standard atomic weight by several mass units.


When cuso45h2o is heated in a crucible there is a loss of water how is the amount of water loss determined?

The amount of water loss from cuso4·5h2o can be determined by measuring the weight of the crucible and compound before and after heating. The initial weight represents the compound with water, and the final weight after heating will show the loss of water as the difference in weight. By subtracting the initial weight from the final weight, the amount of water lost can be calculated.

Is a pound a measure of mass?

No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)


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.


Is the difference in mass and weight?

Mass- the amount of matter that something is made of Weight- a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object


Difference in mass and weight?

mass is the actual ''density'' of an object. whereas weight is determined by gravity and mass w=m*g hope this helps


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.


How is the weight of an object calculated?

weight is a kind of force,it's numerical formula's W=mg, where m is mass of the object and g is accln due to gravity


What devices are used to measure weight and mass and how do they work?

Devices such as scales and balances are commonly used to measure weight and mass. Scales work by measuring the force of gravity acting on an object, which is directly proportional to its mass. Balances work by comparing the weight of an unknown object to the weight of a known standard mass. Both devices provide a numerical value that represents the weight or mass of the object being measured.


What is the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons.


What factors can effect body mass?

Weight difference or changing


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.


Weighing by difference?

I'm not sure what you mean, but weighing by difference is when you:Take the weight of an empty container, fill the container with a substance.Take the weight of the container holding the substance.Subtract the empty container's mass from the mass of the container and the substance.You will then get the mass of the substance.The result is what is called the "Tare" weight. That is the weight of the contents ONLY .And that would not be the mass of the substance,,,it would be the weight. Mass is a determination of how much space is taken up by the substance.


What's the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons.
