GIVE THE UNITS IN WHICH WE MEASURE ,MESS ,WEIGH
I measure a mess by how long it takes me to clean it up.
Measures of weight include pounds, ounces, tons, grams, and kilograms.
But I'm sure measurements are different at Mubanga Chipoya Day Sco School than everywhere else in the world, so don't take our word for it.
grams and kilograms are mass
(m)
Newtons and pounds are weight
(m g)
m, the mass. is the same on the moon
m g, the weight, is about (1/6) weight on earth
the weight is a FORCE, you might measure with a scale
the mass is a fundamental unit (Force / acceleration)
Sure! Here are some commonly used units for measuring mass and weight:
1. Mass:
- The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). This is the base unit used for scientific measurements.
- In everyday usage, mass is often measured in grams (g) or metric tons (t).
- In the Imperial system (used in the United States), mass is typically measured in pounds (lb) or ounces (oz).
2. Weight:
- Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object.
- The SI unit for weight is the newton (N). However, weight is often expressed in kilograms (kg) when using the metric system.
- In the Imperial system, weight is commonly measured in pounds (lb).
To measure mass, you can use a balance scale or an electronic scale. Place the object on the scale and read the mass in the desired unit. Ensure that the scale is properly calibrated before taking measurements.
To measure weight, you can use a spring scale or a digital scale with a weight function. Hang the object from the scale hook or place it on the scale's platform, and read the weight displayed on the scale in the desired unit. Again, make sure the scale is properly calibrated and adjusted for the local gravitational acceleration.
It's important to note that mass is a fundamental property of matter, while weight can vary depending on the gravitational force acting on an object.
