When finding the mass of an object, you determine which of the following?
a. quantity of matter in the object
b. its weight
c. its height
d. its length
I picked A, but it was marked wrong. So, I guess the more correct answer is B?
A is the correct choice. Most often, we use weight as an indication of mass, but there are other ways, such as in the inertial balance.
poopturds
i don't really know...that sounds good tho
When finding the mass of an object, the correct answer is actually option A: the quantity of matter in the object. The mass of an object represents the amount of matter it contains, and it is typically measured in units like grams (g) or kilograms (kg). Weight, on the other hand, refers to the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is measured in units like newtons (N) or pounds (lbs). While weight and mass are related, they are not the same thing.
To determine the mass of an object, you can use a variety of methods depending on the object's characteristics. For small objects, you can use a balance scale or a digital scale to directly measure its mass. For larger objects, you might need to use a different method, such as measuring its volume and using the density of the material to calculate its mass.
