Question
mass is a physical property that describes the amount of matter in a substance. mass is commonly measured in grams or kilograms using a triple - beam balance or an electronic balance. weight is a physical property of matter that
○a. is measured in the metric system as pounds
○b. can be measured using a graduated cylinder
○c. considers the gravitational force acting on an object
○d. is always equivalent to an objects mass.
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Pounds are not part of the metric - system for weight (the metric unit is Newton), a graduated cylinder measures volume, and weight and mass are not always equivalent as weight depends on the gravitational field strength.
