Would a massless body have inertia?
Not a single body is present in this universe without mass but they can be weight less.By definition, mass is the measure of the inertia of a body, so if the body were without mass (as some particles, for example), it would have no inertia.
What is mass in art?
visual weight
What is the meaning of Libra in the medieval system in mathematics?

What is the mass of a wiffle ball?
all i know is that it is 45-50 grams in weight. not mass
In weight what does gm stand for?
A scale with a gm mode is probably referring to "grains."In metric, grain (gn) is equal to 50 MICROgrams (mg).In Imperial/British/Standard: The term dates back to the early British (aka Imperial) system of weights and measures where grain was used as the basis of all weights and was, therefore, the smallest of all weights in this system.1 grain = 1/7,000 of a pound (lb), or about 0.0646 gramsIn mass, gm is sometimes used to indicate grams, though g is more common (and correct). Weight is not a measure of mass but a measure of the effect of gravity on a mass, so in this case, it would not actually be a measurement of weight.
What do weight and mass measure?
weight and mass measures the volume
Is a pound a measure of mass?
No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)
How can you measure weight?
Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration
How can measure weight?
Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration
Weight is a measure of this force?
Weight is a measure of the action of gravity on a mass.
What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
Does a pan balance measure mass or weight?
does a pan balance measure weight
Does Mass divided by weight equal velocity?
NO it does notMass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.weight = force = mass * accelerationDivide mass by weight and you get acceleration.
What metric units would be used to measure the mass of a your weight?
Mass and weight are two different things: you cannot measure the mass of your weight. That is like talking about the temperature of your height - it makes no sense.
Is mass a measure of force?
No Weight is a measurement of force... mass is not.
Can it be said that mass or weight is a measure of laziness of an object?
