the measuring mass of an object is a kilo

The easiest way to measure an objects mass is to measure its weight and then assume a constant and global acceleration of gravity (which is a false assumption by the way) and convert weight to mass. The conversion is easy as weight and mass have a simple relationship.

Weight = Mass * acceleration

so

Mass = Weight/acceleration

Mass can be measured a number of different ways but the simplest is using a spring that has a constant tension with length (Hooke's Law). The distance that such a spring is stretched is a direct measurement of weight.

When you measure the amount of matter in an object your are measuring the objects?

mass, which is a measure of the amount of substance present in an object. This measure is independent of the object's location or surroundings.


What do you use a balance to measure?

A balance is used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it with the mass of known weights. It helps determine the weight of an object by measuring the force of gravity acting on it.


What are the two ways to measure the density of an object?

The two ways to measure the density of an object are by using its mass and volume. You can calculate density by dividing the object's mass by its volume, or by measuring the displacement of water when the object is submerged in it.


Why do you measure the mass of an object before measuring its volume using the displacement method?

To get the accurate weight/mass before the objects gets wet.


What are the steps to calculate density of a regular shape object?

To calculate the density of a regular-shaped object, you need to measure the mass of the object using a scale and then measure the volume of the object using a ruler or other measuring tools. Once you have these values, you can divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density (density = mass/volume).


What is a measuring device or tool for mass?

A scale is a measuring device commonly used to measure mass. It can be digital or mechanical and is designed to give an accurate reading of an object's weight in units such as grams or kilograms.


How can you find the mass of the object?

To find the mass of an object, you can use a scale to measure its weight in grams or kilograms. Weight is a force that is directly proportional to mass, so by measuring the weight of an object, you can determine its mass.


Is gram a quantity or a unit?

A unit, for measuring mass (or in imprecise language) weight.


It is the measure of the amount of matter in an object?

This would be an object's mass, which is related to the total number of molecules in the object. When considered in conjunction with gravitational pull, you are measuring the weight of an object (which in physics term is a force rather than a static measure).
