If I wanted to measure the mass of an object rather than the weight, what should I use

A6,600 kg train car moving at +2.0 m/s bumps into and locks together with one of mass 5,400kg moving at -3.0m/s. what is their final velocity? +0.50 m/s -1.0 m/s +2.5 m/s -0.25 m/s

If a simple machine reduces the strength of a force, what must be increased?

Atemperature inversion can cause a warm air mass to move over a colder air mass. this traps the colder air mass and prevents surface air from rising. this may result in which of these? a) smog b) acid rain c) freezing rain d) a thunderstorm
