What else can I help you with?
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.
How does liquid mass differ from its weight?
Weight is specific to a planet's gravity, whereas mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is classified as a force, and is a product of an objects mass and local gravity. Mass is purely the amount of something you have, and is measured in kilograms. Wieght is measured in pounds or Newtons. If you travel to the moon, you will weigh less because of lower gravity, but you will have the same mass.
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.
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.
Are the same tools used to measure weight and 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.
What is the physical quantity of weight?
The physical quantity of weight is Newton (N). Weight shares the same SI unit as force. ;)
Is density the same or different than weight?
Density and weight are different concepts. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Density is typically measured in units such as kg/m^3, while weight is typically measured in units such as Newtons or pounds.
If an object has a mass on earth is 60 units what will be the mass of the same object on the moon?
The mass of an object will remain the same regardless of its location. So, the mass of an object that is 60 units on Earth will also be 60 units on the moon.
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'.
Is power the same as weight?
No, power and weight are not the same. Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, measured in watts or horsepower. Weight, on the other hand, is the force acting on an object due to gravity, measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.
