No. Mass units include the gram, kilogram, metric ton, poundmass, and slug. Weight
is measured in units of force, including newton, US ton, and poundforce. The common
"pound" used to describe weight in the US customary system is the poundforce.

Are the same tools used to measure weight and mass?
mass is measured with a balance comparing an unknown mass with an object of known mass. weight is not measeured with the same tools as mass.
What units are used to measure the weight of an object?
The same units as mass, for objects in the same gravitational reference frame.
How many cubic units needed to fill the space inside a figure?
Its capacity or volume - measured in the same units.Its capacity or volume - measured in the same units.Its capacity or volume - measured in the same units.Its capacity or volume - measured in the same units.
What unit would you use to weight of a book?
A millinewton. Not a gram or kilogram since they are units for measuring mass which is not the same as weight.
How many grams does a 125lb person weigh in kilogrames?
Weight is measured in Newtons, not grams or kilograms. They are measures of mass which is not the same as weight.
The weight of subtomic particles is measured in units called atomic mass units true or false?
Yes, true: the mass of 1 proton is exactly the same as of 1 neutron: 1 a.m.u.
What is the amount of matter or stuff in a body?
The amount of matter or stuff is measured by the mass, measured in kilogrammes and other units like grammes or pounds. It not the same as weight, which (if you are an astronaut) changes with where you are.
Is it true that the mass of an object is different if it is measured in US units and metric units?
No, the mass is the same. Only the numbers are different.

State 3 differences between mass and weight?
1. Weight changes in different places but mass stays the same. 2. mass is the amount of material in an object and weight is the gravitational pull. 3. Weight is measured in newtons and mass is measured in grams
What units are used to measure the weight of an object?
The same units as mass, for objects in the same gravitational reference frame.
What is the physical quantity of weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass. It is typically measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.
Is weight measured in pounds or newtons?
'Weight' is a force, and can be described with any unit of force. 'Newton' is the unit of force in the SI system. 'Kilogram' is a unit of mass, not force. The weight of an amount of mass is always the same as long as it stays on the same planet. But when that same mass leaves the Earth and goes to other places, then its weight changes. Since all of human history so far has taken place on the Earth, a lot of people have gotten used to describing weights in terms the mass that has that weight on Earth. According to that habit, 'one kilogram' is the same as 9.8 newtons of weight, or 2.205 pounds of weight. But it's not a good habit, and now that we're beginning to do things in other places away from the Earth, the folks who are in that habit are going to have trouble. They'll be shocked the first time they're someplace where 1 kilogram doesn't 'weigh 1 kilogram'.
Would your weight be the same if you were on the moon?
no,........ weight would change according to the gravitational pull its mass which remains same. weight is measured in newtons.
Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
What is the mass of body anywhere in universe?
The mass of the object is the same as it was when you measured it on Earth, but its weight is different in other places.
Do weight and mass use the same units?
No. Units of mass include kilogram, gram, poundmass, and slug. Weight is expressed in units of force. They include newton, poundforce, ounce, ton. Especially in the metric system, units of mass and force are often used interchangeably. This practice arises from a basic misunderstanding of the difference between mass and weight, and is incorrect.
