# 4.1 Mass

How will we write the grams in the table above as kg?

I know 1 000 g = 1 kg

Thus: 1 g = $\frac{1}{1\text{000}}$ kg= 0,001 kg

In the same way 17 g will be 17 thousandths of a kg.

17 g = 0,017 kg

and 234 g = 0,234 kg

4 387 g = 4 kg 387 g = 4,387 kg

1. Write the following as kg.

a) 9 g ............................

b) 26 g ............................

c) 89 g ............................

d) 436 g ............................

e) 2 309 g ............................

f) 5 006 g ............................

2. Study the different weight pieces below. Choose the fewest number of weights you will need to balance the scale and write them down.

 Mass Weights needed e.g. 1,010 kg 1 kg ; 10 g 1,023 kg .................................................................................................... 1,023 kg .................................................................................................... 1,007 kg .................................................................................................... 1,056 kg .................................................................................................... 983 g .................................................................................................... 724 g ....................................................................................................

4. Rounding off

4.1 Can you round off the following to the nearest kg?

(a) 7,6 kg .........................

(b) 0,5 kg .........................

(c) 4,2 kg .........................

(d) 2,5 kg .........................

4.2 Round off the following to the nearest ton:

(a) 20,8 t .........................

(b) 29,4 t .........................

(c) 1,5 t .........................

(d) 34,9 t .........................

You want to determine the mass of a chair. You have a bathroom scale, but the chair is too big for it and falls off. How can you determine the mass of the chair without using a bigger scale?

## Assessment

 LO 4 MeasurementThe learner will be able to use appropriate measuring units, instruments and formulae in a variety of contexts. We know this when the learner: 4.1 reads, tells and writes analogue, digital and 24-hour time to at least the nearest minute and second; 4.2 solves problems involving calculation and conversion between appropriate time units including decades, centuries and millennia; 4.3 uses time-measuring instruments to appropriate levels of precision including watches and stopwatches; 4.4 describes and illustrates ways of representing time in different cultures throughout history; 4.5 estimates, measures, records, compares and orders two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using S.I. units with appropriate precision for: mass using grams (g) en kilograms (kg); capacity using millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), metres (m) en kilometres (km); length using. millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), metres (m) en kilometres (km); 4.6 solves problems involving selecting, calculating with and converting between appropriate S.I. units listed above, integrating appropriate contexts for Technology and Natural Sciences; 4.7 uses appropriate measuring instruments (with understanding of their limitations) to appropriate levels of precision including: bathroom scales, kitchen scales and balances to measure mass; measuring jugs to measure capacity; rulers, metre sticks, tape measures and trundle wheels to measure length.

Stand on scale and take the reading; then hold chair above your head while on the scale and take reading again (or vive versa); the difference in the readings is the mass of the chair.

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
Daniel
how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well
Maciej
Abigail
for teaching engĺish at school how nano technology help us
Anassong
Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
