Measuring Mass / Midiendo masa Mass / Masa Measuring Mass / Midiendo masa

How does a triple-beam balance work How does a triple-beam balance work? Como la balanza de tres colunmas trabaja? A triple-beam balance works by comparing the mass of the object you are measuring to a known mass / Comparando la masa del objeto que estas midiendo con un objeto conocido When you use a triple-beam balance, you: / Cuando usas una balanza de tres columnas, usted: Place the object on the pan / Coloca el objeto en el plato. Shift the riders on the beams until them balance the mass of the object . Desplaza los “riders” en los brazos o columnas hasta que balanceen la masa del objeto. Start with the large rider (increments of 100) / comienze con el rider mayor incrementando por 100 Next, the medium sized rider (increments of 10) / luego siga con el rider mediano incrementando por 10 Lastly, the small rider (increments of 1) / finalmente desplaze el rider pequeno incrementando por 1

Figure 3: Observing - What is the mass of this turtle Figure 3: Observing - What is the mass of this turtle? Observando – Cual es la masa de esta tortuga? 153.7 grams / gramos

Mass / Masa The Difference Between Mass and Weight / La diferencia entre masa y peso

How would your weight differ if you were to travel to the moon How would your weight differ if you were to travel to the moon? Como tu peso difiere si tu viajaras a la luna ? If you were to travel to the moon your weight would be less./ Seria menor Your weight would be lesser because the force of gravity is less. / Porque la fuerza de gravedad es menor. Weight is a factor of the force of gravity. / El peso es un factor de la fuerza de gravedad

Why would your mass stay constant if you were to travel to the moon Why would your mass stay constant if you were to travel to the moon? / Porque tu masa permaneceria constantes viajaras a la luna? Your mass would stay the same if you were to travel to the moon because mass is the amount of matter that an object contains / Tu masa permaneceria igual porque la masa es la cantidad de materia que un objeto contiene. Since you are still made up of the same amount of “stuff”, your mass would not change. / Debido que continuarias estando constituido de la misma cantidad de material tu masa no cambiaria.

Why do scientists prefer to use the mass of an object instead of its weight? Porque los cientificos prefieren utilizar la masa de un objeto en vez de su peso? Because mass does not change when the force of gravity does / Porque la masa no cambia cuando la fuerza de gravedad lo hace.

 Make sure that you know /Asegurate de saber : What is weight  Make sure that you know /Asegurate de saber : What is weight? Que es peso? The measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. / La medida de la gravedad actuando sobre un objeto
