Which physical would you measure with a spring scale?

You would measure weight.


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.


When you weigh yourself what is the scale actually measuring?

When you weigh yourself, the scale is measuring the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body. This force is your weight and is calculated by the scale based on the compression of its internal spring system or the bending of a strain gauge.


How spring scale weigh anything?

A spring scale measures weight by using the principle of Hooke's law, which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by a certain distance is proportional to that distance. As an object hangs from the scale, the spring stretches or compresses, and the scale measures the amount of force needed to do so. This force is then converted into a weight reading in units such as grams or Newtons.


When putting an object on a spring scale the pointer shows the object's what?

When putting an object on a spring scale the pointer is going to show that objects weight. So the answer would be WEIGHT. Like for example when you are in your bathroom and you step on the scale , the pointer is going to show how much you weigh.

What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?

A spring scale measures force in newtons. It works based on Hooke's law, which states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension or compression of the spring. The scale calculates the amount of force required to extend or compress the spring.

Which measurement tool would give different result on the moon than on earth even when measuring the same object?

A spring scale would give a different result on the moon than on Earth when measuring the same object due to the difference in gravity. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so the object would weigh less on the moon compared to Earth, affecting the measurement on the spring scale.


Can a spring scale measure a fish?

If the fish does not struggle (it would have to be dead not to) and above water, then you can measure a spring scale.
