10. Weight is a force that measures the pull on a given mass by gravity.
3.2
Units and Quantities
Weight is a force that measures the pull on a given mass by gravity.
The astronaut shown on the surface of the moon weighs one sixth of what he weighs on Earth.
An astronaut’s weight on the moon is one sixth as much as it is on Earth. Earth exerts six times the force of gravity as the moon. Inferring How does the astronaut’s mass on the moon compare to his mass on Earth?

11. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is.

Units and Quantities
Units of Temperature
Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is.
Thermometers are used to measure temperature.
Thermometers are used to measure temperature. a) A liquid-in-glass thermometer contains alcohol or mineral spirits. b) A dial thermometer contains a coiled bimetallic strip. c) A Galileo thermometer contains several glass bulbs that are calibrated to sink or float depending on the temperature. The Galileo thermometer shown uses the Fahrenheit scale, which sets the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F.

12. 3.2
Units and Quantities
Scientists commonly use two equivalent units of temperature, the degree Celsius and the kelvin.

13. 3.2
Units and Quantities
On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0°C and the boiling point is 100°C.
On the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is kelvins (K), and the boiling point is K.
The zero point on the Kelvin scale, 0 K, or absolute zero, is equal to  °C.

14. 3.2
Units and Quantities
Because one degree on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one kelvin on the Kelvin scale, converting from one temperature to another is easy. You simply add or subtract 273, as shown in the following equations.
