take an ice cube at 0 degrees C and place it in 500 grams of water at 60 degrees C . The final temperature is 18 degrees C . What is the mass of the ice cube? heat of fusion for water is 80 cal per g. Anyone?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is usually measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on that object. Mass remains constant regardless of the gravitational pull, while weight changes depending on the strength of the gravitational field.
The most common way to measure the mass of an object is by using a balance scale or a digital scale. The object is placed on one side of the scale and standard weights are placed on the other side until the two sides are balanced. The mass of the object is then equal to the sum of the weights on the other side.
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). However, the gram (g) is also commonly used as a unit of mass.
