what does kg stand for ?

OpenStudy (phi):

and do you use kilograms to measure ?

OpenStudy (phi):

kg is measuring mass (which on Earth we associate with weight) what does km stand for?

OpenStudy (phi):

or one thousand meters. any idea what a meter measures?

OpenStudy (phi):

a meter is a little bit longer than a yard (a little more than 3 feet)

OpenStudy (phi):

what do you measure with a yard ?

OpenStudy (phi):

like in what do you use a "yardstick" for ?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. that means we would use a meter as a different way to measure length or km to measure (longer) lengths

OpenStudy (phi):

so far so good

OpenStudy (phi):

you know kg measures mass km measures distance

OpenStudy (phi):

if we look at each choice and cut out all the clutter: A. area and the other is distance. B. both measure mass. C. both measure mass. D. mass and the other is distance. which choice mentions mass and distance ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D.

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. And we don't add lengths to weight (mass) and get a number that makes sense. two inches plus 4 pounds does not mean anything neither does 2 kg plus 2 km

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh okay thank you ver much

OpenStudy (phi):
