Homework Statement
i'm suppose to find the mass of a mysterious object(a tile)i i know the area, which is centimeters squared, and asked to find the mass. would i just multiple g/cm^2 and my area together to get the mass?
elpermic said:well the average mass per unit area we had from this lab was 0.285824 g/cm^2. so if i multiplied the average x area i would get the mass?
The mass of an object can be measured using a scale or balance. Place the object on the scale and record the reading. This will give you the mass of the object in grams (g).
No, a ruler measures length, not mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while length is a measure of size or distance.
The standard unit of measurement for mass is the gram (g). However, in some cases, larger units such as kilograms (kg) or smaller units such as milligrams (mg) may be used.
Yes, mass and weight are two different measurements. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass is constant, while weight can change depending on the gravitational pull of the planet or object an object is on.
In this case, you can use a more precise instrument called a balance. A balance can measure smaller masses, such as those in milligrams (mg). You can also use a formula to calculate the mass based on the object's density and volume, if those measurements are available.
