What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
Should grams be used to measure the weight of an object?
If the object is small, weighing no more than a pound or two. A kilogram ( 1,000 grams ) = 2.2 pounds, approx. Thus, anything larger should be measured in Kg, since it is much simpler to describe an object's weight as 3.5 kg, rather than 3,500 grams.
What is a scale and when is it used?
A scale is used to measure a weight of an object
How do you convert from grams to meter?
you can't convert grams to meters. Grams are used to measure weight and meters are used to measure distance.They are both metric measurements but they measure different things.
What do you measure grams for?
Grams are a measure of mass. Sometimes people interchange the words 'mass' and 'weight'. But mass refers to the quantity of matter, while weight refers to the force exerted on an object due to gravity. So as long as you have 1g gravitational acceleration exerting on the object, then its mass and weight will be the same. Grams are typically used for measuring mass of small objects. Example: a US nickel has a mass of about 5 grams. (Some people would say it 'weighs' 5 grams).
Are grams used to measure length in an object?
No. Grams are for weight.
What is units are used tto measure the weight of small object?
Micrograms, milligrams or grams depending on the mass.
What object weighs 500.0 Grams?
