m=F/a
then is mass measured in kg or g.
Thanks

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is typically measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g). Mass can be measured using a scale or balance, which compares the weight of an object to a known weight.
Mass and weight are often used interchangeably, but they are actually two different concepts. 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, but weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity.
F=ma is a formula known as Newton's Second Law of Motion, where F represents force, m represents mass, and a represents acceleration. This formula can be used to calculate the force needed to accelerate an object with a certain mass at a certain rate. In order to use this formula, mass must be measured in kilograms.
The kilogram (kg) and gram (g) are the SI units for mass. These units are used because they are based on the metric system, which is a standardized system of measurement used by scientists all over the world. This allows for consistency and easy comparison of data.
Yes, mass can also be measured in other units such as pounds (lb) or ounces (oz). However, these are not standard units in the SI system and may be converted to kilograms or grams for scientific purposes. It is important to use the correct units when measuring mass to ensure accuracy and consistency in data.
