a balance uses small metal weights of known mass to determine the mass of a substance. where would a balance not function correctly? a. in a vacuum on earth b. on the moons surface c. on the earths highest mountain d. in a zero gravity environment

a balance uses small metal weights of known mass to determine the mass of a substance. where would a balance not function correctly? a. in a vacuum on earth b. on the moons surface c. on the earths highest mountain d. in a zero gravity environment

Answer

Brief Explanations:

A balance works based on the force of gravity pulling on the mass of objects on its pans. In a zero - gravity environment, there is no gravitational force to cause the balance to tip or to compare the masses of different objects. In a vacuum on Earth, on the Moon's surface, or on Earth's highest mountain, there is still gravity present (although the gravitational force may vary in magnitude).

Answer:

D. in a zero gravity environment
