What kind of balance is affected by the local force of gravity?
spring balance
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
Why or why not would a balance work correctly on the moon?
It would work properly, although it would be very inaccurate. No matter how much gravity there is, an object's mass stays the same. A balance takes the weight of an object on the surface of Earth and, with the counterweights, balances it out with an approximate mass. If you wanted a balance to work on the moon, you would need to relabel the balance.
What do mass balances do that weighing scales don't?
Mass balances compare the force of gravity on two masses, while weighing scales use a spring and measure the force of gravity by studying the extension of the spring. A mass balance would give the same answer on the Moon, while the weighing scales would give an answer about a sixth of the correct value.
Which force balances gravity on a rock on a hill?
friction
Would inertia balance work in the absence of gravity?
yes because inertia balances do not require gravity to opperate. The vibrations (back-and-forth motions) are solely affected by the mass placed on the balance.
What kind of balance is affected by the local force of gravity?
spring balance
How balances work?
Your vestibular apparatus in your inner ear helps you maintain balance by tiny hairs that get stimulated in a aqueous fluid due to gravity and acceleration.
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
What tools could be used to find out the mass of an object?
The equation for Newton's second law can be represented as F = ma where, * F is the net force in Newton (N) * m is the mass in kilograms * a is the acceleration of gravity m/s2 * Mass = density x volume
