Is mass better to measure than weight?

They are completely different things.The mass of an object is the amount of matter or "stuff" of which the object is composed. It is an intrinsic property of the object itself and it doesn't change, regardless of where the object goes or what kind of environment or conditions it's subjected to.The weight of an object is the force that exists, trying to accelerate the object in one direction.Most often, the force comes about because of the gravitational attraction between the object and another nearby body, such as the earth. If that same object is moved to another gravitational environment ... such as the surface of the moon ... its weight changes.On the International Space Station, either the object has no weight at all, or ... if the station is spinning ... it has a little bit of weight.Which of these is the correct weight ? They all are. Each one is correct in that particular environment, because the weight depends on the environment, whereas the mass is an inherent property of the object, and it doesn't change.


The presence of which kind of molecules determines the concentration of other substance in the body?

Water


What is the only one of its kind called?

An item or object that is the only one of its kind is referred to as a "unique" or "one-of-a-kind."


What kind of receptor involves backing into a sun heated iron railing?

Thermal nociceptors are the type of receptor that would be involved in backing into a sun-heated iron railing. These receptors detect potentially damaging stimuli, such as extreme temperatures, and send signals to the brain to elicit a pain response.


Which part of an atom helps describe the property of the atom and determines what kind of element it is?

Protons (the number of ..) determine the 'kind' of element,and the electrons in the outmost valency orbital determine the properties(the number of electron; and 'octet' rule: "make it eight preferably').

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


Measure of how hard gravity pulls on a object?

The measure of how hard gravity pulls on an object is its weight. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is usually expressed in units such as pounds or newtons. It is proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.


When does an object remain stable?

an object remains stable at the point where its weight can be balanced out equally without distortions of any kind.

What is the underwater weight of an object that sinks to the bottom of a body of water and is completely submerged?

You will find that such an object will weigh its weight on land minus the weight of the water it displaceswhen submerged. It doesn't seem possible, but it is true. This kind of result is called 'counterintuitive'.


What determines the kind of wavelength and the amount of radiation that an object emits?

The temperature of an object determines the type of wavelength it emits. An object at a higher temperature emits shorter wavelengths, such as visible light or ultraviolet radiation, while colder objects emit longer wavelengths, like infrared radiation. The amount of radiation emitted is governed by the object's temperature and its emissivity, which is a measure of how efficiently an object can emit radiation.


What number in an atom determines what kind of atom it is?

The atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus, determines what kind of atom it is.


What kind of energy measures temperature?

Thermal energy is the form of energy that measures temperature. It is the energy that comes from the motion of particles in matter, which determines the temperature of an object or substance.


A ligand produces a response in a cell if it finds the right kind of?

receptor. When a ligand binds to its receptor on the cell surface or within the cell, it triggers a specific biological response or signaling pathway. The specificity of this interaction between ligand and receptor is critical in determining the cellular response.


Is Throwing a kind of force?

Throwing involves applying force to an object to propel it through the air. The force exerted during throwing accelerates the object and determines its direction and distance. So, yes, throwing is a type of force.


What kind of force does a porter apply to lift an object?

A porter applies an upward force called the lifting force to lift an object. This force must be larger than the weight of the object to overcome gravity and lift it.
