A weighing machine will give you the mass of an item. The weight of an item is the amount of force that an item exerts on the earths surface.

How do you find the mass of an animal?

Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

What is the machine to measure grams called?

Grams are a measure of weight - so a weighing scales is used.


What instrument measures mass or mass out and object or substance?

A digital weighing machine may be usable to measuring the mass of 98 gr. ball. When you drop the ball from 12 meter height to on the surface of the normal digital weighing machine, then machine showing ball weight first second more than 98 gr. and there after machine come to normal stage and showing ball weight exact 98 gr. If we how fast beet the ball to digital weighing machine of top surface, then ball’s mass increases and showing more and more weight at first second the mass of the ball.


How can the mass of an object be determined by weighing the object and using a conversion factor?

The mass of an object can be determined by weighing it using a scale and then using a conversion factor to convert the weight measurement to mass. This conversion factor is usually the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth) which relates the force of gravity acting on the object (weight) to its mass.


What is the difference between inertia weight and mass?

Weight' is preferably measured w.r.t center of mass of a body. ex: u are asked to stand vertically with legs apart on the weighing machine,its because ur entire weight is concentrated at the center of the entire mass body. on the other hand 'mass' is the total physical weigh of ur body along with the forces of gravity !

What instrument measures the mass of a bird's egg?

A normal digital weighing machine may be usable to measuring the mass of 100 gr. egg. When you drop the egg from 9 meter height to on the surface of the normal digital weighing machine, then machine showing ball weight first second more than 100 gr. and there after machine come to normal stage and showing egg weight exact 100 gr. If we how fast beet the egg to digital weighing machine of top surface, then egg’s mass increases and showing more and more weight at first second.

What does mass mean in weighing?

The weight is the mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. When weighing an object by a balance the acceleration of gravity is on both sides of weighing and hence canceling its effect and hence you get the object mass (not the weight)..


You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine is your mas less than 42 kg?

Not if the weighing machine is accurate.

How mass and weight measure?

Weight is the pull of gravity on a mass, it is measured in a gravity field using a weighing machine (bathroom scales are an example) Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a force is applied.
