Mass is typically measured using a scale that uses the metric system, such as a balance or electronic scale. The most common unit of mass in the metric system is the gram (g), although kilograms (kg) are often used for larger masses.
Scientists use the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale, which has zero at the freezing point of water.
Scientists use the Kelvin scale, which starts at absolute zero. Answer REALLY!!! Scientists use all of the scales, but avoid Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit is not preferred, but it is cited in some cases to provide a "translation" for others who may not be familiar with Celsius. (Even a scientist in the U.S. will probably tell you the room temperature in Fahrenheit.) Celsius is preferred by scientists, but so is Kelvin, particularly for extremely high temperatures. All are used, but Celsius and Kelvin are preferred.
The Kelvin scale, named for Lord Kelvin. Or the celsius scale.
The official unit in science is the kelvin, but worldwide, the degree Celsius, also known as Centigrade, is also often used.
No, a graduate is not used to measure mass. A graduate is typically used to measure volume, especially in laboratory settings. Mass is usually measured using a scale or balance.
A scale.
A spring scale is used to measure the weight of an object by the stretching of a spring. It is commonly used in schools, laboratories, and households to measure the force exerted by an object due to gravity.
Mass is typically measured using a balance or a scale, which compares an object's mass to a known standard mass. The unit used to measure mass is the kilogram (kg) in the International System of Units (SI).
To measure the mass of a baseball, a simple tool such as a weighing scale or a balance can be used. Place the baseball on the scale and note the weight displayed to determine its mass. Measurements are typically in ounces or grams.
