Why is it sometimes better to measure an object with an inch ruler than with a nonstandard unit?
Because other people may have no idea how big the non-standard unit is. If I said than my monitor was six fingers tall, how big is that?
It is, of course, better to use an international standard unit such as the centimetre or metre, but some countries are still stuck with inches.
What else can I help you with?
What do you use to measure the length of an object?
a ruler is used to measure it and cm, sometimes inches to
What is the measure of how much surface an object has?
Area is the measure of how much surface an object has.
What is the better formula to use in calculating volume in irregular object?
Break the object into parts that a block or a cylinder has. For example, if you are finding the volume of a doughnut, you will measure the surface of it and subtract the measurements of the hole.
What is the temperature of an object?
The temperature of an object is a measure of the thermodynamic energy of the object.
Is volume the measure of the amount of matter in an object?
No volume is how much space an object takes up. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
What do you use to measure the length of an object?
a ruler is used to measure it and cm, sometimes inches to
The of an object is the measure of the amount of matter in the object?
The mass is sometimes called the "amount of matter". Please note that this is a bit informal, not a very exact definition.
What is used with a balance to measure and object's mass?
usually scales but if u have any better tell me
What attribute of an object is a measure of the object's inertia?
Mass is the attribute of an object that is a measure of the object's inertia. It represents the amount of matter in an object and is a measure of how much an object resists changes in its motion.
What do you measure you measure an object's temperature?
"What do you measure (when) you measure..." ? When you measure an object's temperature, you are measuring the amount of heat the object emits (gives off). There is no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat.
Temperature is a measure of what of the particles in an object?
degrees Temperature is a measure of heat in an object.
Is it true weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object?
mass is how much weight an object has so mass (N) measures how much weight (G) an object has
Is mass the amount of substance in an object?
No, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms. It represents the object's resistance to acceleration when a force is applied. The amount of substance in an object is better described by its molar quantity or moles.
What is mass sometimes confused with?
Mass is sometimes confused with weight. While mass refers to the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of its location, weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and can change depending on the gravity of a particular location.
A measure of the total amount of matter an object contains is called .?
That must refer to the mass. Mass is sometimes described as the "amount of matter". Please note that describing mass as "amount of matter" is rather informal; better read the Wikipedia article on mass, or some similar introductory article, for a more precise description.
Is the temperature of an object a measure of the total kinetic energy of molecules in the object of a measure of the average kinetic energy per molecule in the object?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy per molecule in an object. It is not a measure of the total kinetic energy of all the molecules in the object.
When you measure the amount of matter in an object your are measuring the objects?
mass, which is a measure of the amount of substance present in an object. This measure is independent of the object's location or surroundings.
