Can you weigh light?

I would say that we can't weight light because whether heavy or light. if we weight any substance,if we pass light on that object the mass of that object will be constant so we cant measure light


What is a measure of quantity in an object?

A measure of quantity in an object refers to the amount of that object present. It could be measured in terms of weight, volume, count, or any other relevant unit of measurement depending on the characteristics of the object being measured.


Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?

When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.


How are the mass and weight of an object related?

mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.


What is the measure of the gravitational force on an object called?

If the object is on or near the Earth's surface, then most people call that force the object's "weight". Nobody ever gives any attention to the gravitational force that the object exerts on the Earth, probably because it happens to be exactly the same as the object's weight on the Earth. The neat thing about it, however, is that the same force is also the Earth's weight on the object.


Can an object have mass and not weight?

Weight is due to gravitational pull on the massive objects. If acceleration due to gravity is 0, then weight too becomes 0 In free space any massive object having mass does not have weight at all.


What object can measure 400m3?

any 3-dimensional object


Can an object have mass without having weight?

Yes. An isolated mass (one without any other masses near it, where "near" is defined generously) has no discernible weight, and an object in freefall has mass but no weight.Yes. An object in free fall, for example, has mass but no weight.


How do you mass out an object?

Mass is an intrinsic property of an object. Anything that has mass will have gravitational force acting on it and this is what we measure when we stand on the weighting scale. If you want to know mass of any object simply divide its weight by 9.8 (gravitational constant).


Can a body have mass but no weight explain?

Yes, a body can have mass but no weight in a region where there is no gravitational field acting on it, such as in outer space far from any planets or stars. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, so without gravity, there would be no weight. However, the mass of the object would still remain the same, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.


What is wet weight?

Wet weight refers to the weight of an object or substance when it contains moisture or water. It does not account for the dry weight, which is the weight of the object after the moisture has been removed. Wet weight is commonly used in scientific experiments or studies to measure the total weight of a sample including any water content present.


How do you measure the density of a irregualar shape?

The simplest way is water displacement. Density is equal to mass per volume. You can use any conventional scale to find the mass of the object. You can then take a container that is considerably larger than the object and fill it with enough water to be able to cover the object. Measure how much water is in the container, then place the object in the water. Now measure how much water appears to be in the container now (the water level will rise). The difference between the two water levels will be the volume of your irregular shape. Now you divide the mass by the volume and get the density.
