#Grams to kilograms plus

And all the kilogram is,Īnd you're going to see the prefix 'kilo-' over and over again, in your, I guess your education careers, especially when you're Now, another thing that you will see in the context of mass and measuring mass, is the kilogram. When you take PhysicsĬlass, you'll learn that they are different concepts that are closely related to each other. The more something's mass is going to be, the more it's going to weigh, once again, assuming we're on the planet, etc., etc. And one way to gauge something's mass is to hold it if you can, and say, 'Okay, how much does this weigh,' because the more something weighs, the more its mass is going to be.

Plus or minus a little bit, or even if we're a little bitįurther away from sea level, mass and weight, it's not crazy to hold them a little bit interchangeable. So you'll often hear people say, 'How many grams does that thing weigh?' They really should be saying, 'How many grams does that thing mass,' but it's okay, because as longĪs we're staying on earth, roughly you know, at sea level, The center of the planet, they're going to have the same weight. Two things with the same mass, once again if I'm on the same planet, at the same distance from

The center of that planet, roughly speaking, mass and weight will be strongly related to each other. Now, if you're on a given planet, and the same distance from

And I said 'related to weight,' not the same thing as weight, because later on when you take Physics, you will learn that massĪnd weight are related, but that they're notĮxactly the same thing. It's how much stuff there is,Īnd it's related to weight. And so, just with those examples, you might get an intuitionįor what mass is. And say, 'This is massive.' This is massive. To some big boulder, some big heavy boulder, let And say, 'Hey, this is not very massive.' This is not massive. In everyday language, someone might look at a feather, let me see if I can draw a good feather. Now, what is mass? Well, you might have seen So let's talk about the unit of measurement called the 'gram.' And the gram is a unit of
