The kilogram is the base SI unit of mass and cannot be simplified any further.
Its symbol is kg.

∙ 15y agoIn 1795, in France the gram was originally defined as "the absolute weight of a volume of water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of the meter, at the temperature of melting ice." A kilogram is of course simply 1,000 grams.
In 1889, the kilogram was more precisely defined by a benchmark called the International Prototype Kilogram or "IPK", made from platinum alloy. It and 6 replicas are stored in an environmentally monitored safe in the basement of the French International Bureau of Weights and Measures(BIPM) outside Paris.

What does kilograms equal too?
Originally a kilogram was defined as the mass of 1 litre of water:pure water at a pressure of one bar and a temperature of 4 deg Celsius (when it has its maximum density). However, it was subsequently redefined so that now it is the mass of a standard (or prototype) kilogram which has a mass of 1.000025 litres.
In the metric system - what is the standard unit of mass?
The metric standard unit of mass is the kilogram (Kg).
What is the standard unit for mass in the metric system?
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass and is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram.In metric System there are many units to measure the mass of the objects like pounds, gm, lbs, kg,etc.
What is the SI base unit for mass?
The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram
Difference between one liter and one kilogram?
A metric tonm is a measure of mass and has dimension [M]. A kilolitre is a meaure of volume with dimension [L3]. Until the mid 1960s, a litre was defined as the volume of a kilogram of water (under certain conditions). A kilolitre would have corresponded to the volume of a tonne of water.
A kilogram was originally defined as the mass of?
When the metric system was originally devised, the kilogram was defined so that 1,000 cubic centimeters (1 cubic decimeter) of pure water has a mass of exactly 1 kilogram.
What is the gram?
The gram is a metric unit of mass. It was originally defined as the mass of 1 cm3 of pure water at the temperature of melting ice, but is now defined as 0.001 of the mass of a kilogram.

How is mass defined in physics?
Mass is a measure of a body's inertia in which the SI unit is the kilogram.
Half of a kilogram of butter has a mass of what?

1000 grams is ONE what?
1,000 grams is one kilogram in the International System of Units (SI). The kilo prefix means one thousand, so a thousand grams is a kilogram. Originally defined as the mass of a cubic decimeter (liter) of water, the kilogram is today standadized as the mass of a platinum-iridium international prototype kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (Bureau International des Poids et Mesure, near Paris, France). A one-kilogram mass has an Earth weight of about 2.2 pounds.
If you weighed 150 kilogram and lost 1 kilogram what is the body percentage lost?
"Weight" is not measured in kilograms.If your mass was originally 150 kg and you lost 1 kg of mass, then you lost 2/3rds of 1 percent of your original mass.
Why is there 1000 grams in 1 kilogram?
That is how they are defined. "Kilo" means 1000 and a gram is defined as a thousandth of a kilogram.
What would have the larger mass a kilogram of lead or a kilogram of feathers?
A kilogram is a measure of mass therefore a kilogram of lead and a kilogram of feathers have the same mass: one kilogram. They would, however, have different volumes and densities.
What is the si unit for which is equal to 1kg?
The kg (kilogram) is the unit of mass in SI.The kg (kilogram) is the unit of mass in SI.The kg (kilogram) is the unit of mass in SI.The kg (kilogram) is the unit of mass in SI.
