The metric system has just one unit for mass: the gram (g). Kilo- is a prefix that means 1000, so a kilogram (kg) is 1000 grams. This way you can go to extremely large and small masses without using any other units. All you need is some prefixes.
A meter (m) is a unit of length, not mass.

What are the unite for density?
The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m
What are the correct units for mass and density?
Mass unit: SI unit [kg] Density unit: SI unit: [kg.m-3] or [kg/m3]
What is the Density of a material that has a Mass of 10 Kg and a Volume of 0.5 cubic Meters?
The density is 20 kg/m3
What are the units of density?
In SI, kilograms per cubic metre. â� ChRiStIaNâ�
What does 3 kg equal in gallons?
A kilogram is a unit of mass. A gallon is a unit of capacity. The two units are therefore incompatible.
What are the unite for density?

What are the correct units for mass and density?
Mass unit: SI unit [kg] Density unit: SI unit: [kg.m-3] or [kg/m3]
How is density different from mass?
Density is mass per unit volume. The units would be something like kg/m^3 or slug/ft^3.
If a dog weights 3000 kg how much g would it be?
1) kg and g are units of mass, not of weight.2) No dog has a mass of 3000 kg. That's about 3 tonnes. Not even a cow has such a high mass.3) k (short for "kilo") means 1000. Therefore, to convert kg to g, multiply by 1000.

How many kilograms are in 378.74 mg?
One kg = 1000 grams. So one gram is 10^-3 kilograms. One mili gram is 10^-3 gram = 10^-6 kg. Kilograms and grams are both the metric units of mass. So the answer in kg is 0.000378740378.74 mg = 0.000378 kg
How many kilograms in 4285 grams?
One kg = 1000 grams. So one gram is 10^-3 kilograms. One mili gram is 10^-3 gram = 10^-6 kg. Kilograms and grams are both the metric units of mass. So the answer in kg is 4.285Divide by 1000= 4.285 kg
What is the density of an object with a mass of 60.0g and a volume of 234cm?
First convert to standard SI units. 60 g = 0.06 kg 234 cm^3 = 0.000234 m^3 density = mass / volume = 0.06 / 0.000234 = 256 kg/m^3
How many kilograms are in 5625 grams?
One kg = 1000 grams. So one gram is 10^-3 kilograms. One mili gram is 10^-3 gram = 10^-6 kg. Kilograms and grams are both the metric units of mass. So the answer in kg is 5.6255625g = 5.625kg
What two sets of units can be used to describe density?
Density can be described in units of mass per unit volume (e.g., g/cm^3 or kg/m^3) or weight per unit volume (e.g., lb/ft^3 or N/m^3).
