What is the scale actually measuring when you weigh yourself?
When you weigh yourself on a scale, it is measuring the force of gravity acting on your body. This force is what determines your weight.
How can you find out how much you weigh without a scale?
You can estimate your weight by comparing yourself to objects of known weight. For example, by using a bathroom scale and balancing it without weighing yourself, you can see how you compare in weight to the scale to make an estimation.
What two forces compress a spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?
The two forces that compress a spring inside a weighing scale are the force of gravity acting on the person standing on the scale and the reaction force exerted by the spring in the scale to counteract the force of gravity. This compression of the spring is used to measure the weight of the person.
If we compare the force of gravity to strong nuclear force we could conclude that?
the strong nuclear force is much stronger than the force of gravity. Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, while the strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together and is much stronger than gravity on the atomic scale.
How do you measure the force of gravity?
By far the easiest method is with the use of a scale. For example, when you stand on a bathroom scale, it displays the magnitude of both forces of gravity between you and the Earth.
What is the scale actually measuring when you weigh yourself?
When you weigh yourself on a scale, it is measuring the force of gravity acting on your body. This force is what determines your weight.
What does the force of gravity on an object determine?
When you weigh yourself, the force of gravity is pulling you down to the scale. Therefore weight is determined by gravity.
How do you weigh yourself without a scale?
you don't
How could you measure the force of gravity on the mass?
You could put the mass on a bathroom scale, weigh it, and then divide its weight by the acceleration of gravity.
How can you find out how much you weigh without a scale?
You can estimate your weight by comparing yourself to objects of known weight. For example, by using a bathroom scale and balancing it without weighing yourself, you can see how you compare in weight to the scale to make an estimation.
How can I accurately weigh my luggage without a scale?
One way to accurately weigh your luggage without a scale is to use the bathroom scale method. First, weigh yourself on a bathroom scale while holding your luggage. Then, weigh yourself without the luggage. The difference between the two weights will give you the weight of your luggage.
What two forces compress a spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?
The two forces that compress a spring inside a weighing scale are the force of gravity acting on the person standing on the scale and the reaction force exerted by the spring in the scale to counteract the force of gravity. This compression of the spring is used to measure the weight of the person.
What is the amount of gravity on the human body?
You can measure the amount of gravitational force being exerted on your body by standing on a bathroom scale and weighing yourself.
What wound your bathroom scale read if you weighted yourself on an inclined plane?
Your mass times the acceleration due to gravity times the sine of the angle of the incline
Why do scales read differently if you stand on one or two?
Scales read your weight by how much gravity pulls on your body. The scale can only measure the pull of gravity by how much the scale itself is compressed. When you have one foot off the scale, and since gravity pulls straight down, gravity will be pulling the off-scale foot down to the side of the scale, not directly on it. This makes the scale compress less, because gravity is pulling you from another point not directly above the scale.
How do you find out how many pounds a baby weighs?
Weigh yourself on bathroom scale with and without the baby then subtract.
How can you tell if your marijuana scale is working correctly?
If you stopped smoking marijuana you could work this out for yourself.
