What is mass sometimes confused with?
Mass is sometimes confused with weight. While mass refers to the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of its location, weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and can change depending on the gravity of a particular location.
What is mass sometimes confused with and why?
Mass is sometimes confused with weight because they both involve measurement of objects' heaviness. However, mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. The confusion arises because weight is often measured using scales that are calibrated to show mass, leading to the misconception that they are the same thing.
What is the difference between your mass and weight?
Well, mass has the following qualities:Mass is the amount of material in a substance, or the quantity of the material in a substance.Also, the mass of a substance is measured in grams (g).Weight is different -- it is what you would think it is: how much pressure is being applied from a substance onto the surface it is standing or sitting on. Mass is confused with weight a lot because the measurement in grams of weight and mass is always the same, it's just that mass's definition is the amount of material in a substance, not how much pressure is being applied onto a surface from a substance. The weight of you depends on the gravity level, so the weight can change. The mass doesn't, but the measurement of the mass does (since the measurement symbol is technically a weight measurement symbol).I understand if you're confused with this, because most people are the first time they hear about it (including me). So don't feel bad if you don't understand. You will eventually get it.
A small unit that measures mass or weight?
Units to measure weight is pounds and ounces, or kilograms and grams.CommentThe kilogram and gram are units for mass, notweight. Weight is measured in newtons.
Why do you think it is imortant for someone to understand the difference between mass and weight?
Actually it's only important for people who will work in some area of science or engineering. The reason it is important to understand it is because otherwise, you will get hopelessly confused. Mass and weight are simply NOT the same thing.
What is the symbol for mass?
the answer is "m" but do not get it confused with "M" because that is a different term
What is a confused and shapeless mass in greek mythology?
Often "Chaos" or "Mud".
What is mass sometimes confused with?

Mass Times Volume is a formula for what?
Mass times volume isn't a formula for anything. You may be confused with mass divided by volume, which is the formula for density.
How many cubic grams are there in a gram?
Grams are mass (often confused with weight) ... and there's no such thing as mass cubed. Sorry.
How is mass related to force?
force= mass* acceleration. weight is a force. But most of the people are confused with mass and weight. The SI unit of mass is kilogram( kg) and SI unit of force is Newtons(N)

What are facts about weight?
Weight is the amount of the force of gravity on an object.
What number does the number of protons plus the number of neutrons give you?
The mass number (similar to the Atomic Mass and not to be confused with atomic number) When the number of protons and neutrons is added the result will be its atomic mass or mass number.
What metric unit should be used to measure how much you weigh?
The Newton. However, "weight" and "mass" are often confused; if you want a person's mass, that would be measured in kilograms.
What is the synonym for tangled?
tangled means a confused mass or highly complex (eg. tangled website); knotted;dishevelled.
Which metric unit would you use to measure the weight of a garden spade?
Weights are measured in newtons. Note that the mass is measured in kilograms; in popular culture, mass and weight are often confused.
