If weight is measured in Newtons and mass is measured in Kilograms why are products in the supermarket described as having a weight in kilograms?
Things are like that because most people are more familiar with a kilogram, and so it makes more sense from a marketing standpoint. In general, thinking people buy less. Anything unfamiliar requires thought, and so putting it in Newtons would make people have to convert to a more familiar measurement which would make them think, which would make them worried about the future, which would make them spend less. Besides, the differences in gravity that a person experiences at different points on the earth's surface are so small, that for most people, an object of a certain mass always has the same weight.
Who has the lowest resting energy expenditure per kilogram of body weight?
Sedentary individuals or those with lower muscle mass tend to have lower resting energy expenditure per kilogram of body weight compared to active individuals or those with higher muscle mass. Age, gender, and body composition also play a role in determining resting energy expenditure.
Do objects with large masses have large weights?
Yes, objects with large masses tend to have large weights due to the force of gravity acting on them. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass.
What is the average difference in weight between men and women?
On average, men tend to be heavier than women due to differences in muscle mass and body composition. The average weight difference between men and women can vary depending on factors such as age, height, and ethnicity. However, in general, men tend to weigh around 15-20% more than women.
Which factors does molecular speed depend on?
Molecular speed depends on temperature, molecular mass/weight, and the medium in which the molecules are moving. An increase in temperature generally increases molecular speed, while higher molecular mass tends to decrease speed. Additionally, molecules tend to move faster in lighter or less dense media.
Which metric units would you use to find the weight of a baby?
Weight is a force, so weight is measured in newton. However, when people talk about a person's "weight" they usually mean its "mass" - people tend to confuse that. Mass is measured in kilograms.
What is the unit of metric?
The gram is a unit of mass, not weight. Weight is measured in newtons.Since a weight is a force, in the SI (International System) it is measured in newtons.You may be looking for the unit of mass (since people tend to confuse mass and weight); the SI unit of mass is the kilogram.
The metric unit of weight is the?
The gram is a unit of mass, not weight. Weight is measured in newtons.Since a weight is a force, in the SI (International System) it is measured in newtons.You may be looking for the unit of mass (since people tend to confuse mass and weight); the SI unit of mass is the kilogram.
What is specific gravity and what is its relation with weight?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water. Density is defined as mass / volume. It is not directly related to weight. Although many people tend to confuse "weight" with "mass", they are really different things.
Why do people tend to confuse the term mass and weight?
The difference is largely unknown to the general public. Moreover, most people do not have a means of measuring mass. Basically, unless the person has taken a physics course (and paid attention) they probably do not know there is even a difference between the two.
Is flour weighed in kilograms or kilometers?
In the SI (metric system), weight is measured in newtons, since a weight is a force. If you actually want to measure the mass (many people tend to confuse weight and mass), the unit would be the kilogram.
What do bulimics tend to look like?
Normal people. Bulimics usually are at a normal weight or tend to be over weight. After purging they may also have chipmunk cheeks and blood shot eyes.
What is the averaged weight for a 53 year old that weigh 143 pounds?
That is a perfect weight. Older people tend to gain more weight, so you are perfect.
Does weight often fluctuate when you have bulimia?
actually no, you tend to stay about the same, in a lot of cases people stay at a normal to slighly overweight weight.
What is the mass and weight on earth?
The mass is physical quantity measured in kilograms, and the weight is a force measured in Newtons.The weight depends on the mass of the planet you are standing on, and altitude. At sea level on earth, 1 kg presses on a scale with 9.8 Newtons of force, 30kg with 294 Newtons, but the scale shows 1kg or 30kg respectively for weight because we tend to think of mass and weight as synonymous.A very precise spring scale is going to show lower weight at higher altitudes! In orbit, the weight is zero; even though the mass is the same! Because of this variation with altitude, scales that must measure mass accurately do not depend on springs.
What metric unit do people use to measure weight?
Weight is a force, and can be described in terms of any unit of force. The basic unit of force in the Metric system is the "Newton". If you were fishing for "kilogram", you used the wrong bait. Although it's true that 16 out of every 19 people will use the kilogram to describe weight, it's still wrong.
Do color words with different colors confuse people?
Yes!Can't do colors here, but if you print the word "Red" in blue, the word "Green" in purple, etc., and ask people to tell you the colors they see, they tend to get confused by the words.
