how matter can be measured?

In terms of mass.\nThe SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).\n\nDo not confuse mass with weight, they are not the same thing.  The mass of an object is constant throughout the universe where as weight is a vector force that depends on the gravitational field around the object.  It is unfortunate that these two words are used interchangably sometimes.

mathematical dilemma. there is no answer to the question. Well at least none that are known. Just like the elements we know there out there but we have to figure them out first.  just like Einstein theory of fusion. its passable just not proved.

Depends on the shape of the object being measured.

MASS / VOLUME\n that's way you measure it in g/mL

Simply put, you can look at light or matter as waves or particles, depending on the experiment performed.

You should be able to measure all three, in both cases.. limited only by the sensitivity and accuracy of your instruments.\n\nwhen a particle with mass moves past you, or you move past it, the force excerted by gravity between you and the particle changes with distance. Of course you need to have a mass too. and your instruments need to be good enough to distinguish these forces from other gravitational and other kind of forces.\n\nIf a charged particle moves, it produces a magnetic field. this is the same effect as seen in a elecromagned where moving elecrons produce magnetic fields.\n\nif a charged particle moves past you, and you have a detector that is based on charge too, you will notice an increase or decrease in attractive or repulsive force between your detector and the charged particle as the distance between the both changes. again this force is miniscule and is easily confused with other stray forces including the above gravitational ones.

Two approaches that I can think of from a non-physicist.\n\n1. Simply a marker over how far back it physically recoils; or\n2. A spring scale fixed to a point that measures the peak force pulling back against it (you could also use a G meter if available).\n\nGood luck

I would say NO... at certain point, particles are made of energy, and energy can't be splitted as matter does...

It's like asking how many seconds in a gallon.\n\nMilliliters measures volume (think liters of soda).\nGrams measures mass.\n\nYou can't compare the two.

How can you measure and weight things that are a figment of people's imagination. One might imagine it one way another person may imagine it a different way.

Physics, major science dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the effects of these forces. \n\nMeasurement, finding the size or amount of some quantity, and expressing it as a number of defined units.All measurement is based on a comparison. In general, the thing to be measured is compared with something that has already been calibrated, or measured against a known reference. However, a measurement is not complete unless it includes a statement of its uncertainty, or the confidence one can have in it.\nUnits of Weight and Measurement\nImperial System\nAMOUNT NAME \nAngular or Circular Measure \n60 seconds = 1 minute (min) \n60 minutes = 1 degree \n30 degrees = 1 zodiac sign \n57.2958 degrees = 1 radian \n90 degrees = 1 quadrant or right angle \n360 degrees = 1 circle \nCubic Measure (Volume) \n1,728 cubic inches (cu in) = 1 cubic foot (cu ft) \n27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard (cu yd) \n231 cubic inches = 1 US gallon (gal) \n277.27 cubic inches = 1 British imperial gallon (i gal) \n2,150.42 cubic inches = 1 US bushel (bu) \n2,219.36 cubic inches = 1 British imperial bushel (i bu) \nDry Measure (Capacity) \n2 pints = 1 quart \n8 quarts = 1 peck (pk) \n4 pecks = 1 bushel \nLinear Measure (Length) \n1,000 mils = 1 inch (in) \n12 inches = 1 foot (ft) \n3 feet = 1 yard (yd) \n5.5 yards = 1 rod (rd) \n40 rods = 1 furlong (fur) \n8 furlongs = 1 mile (mi) \n5,280 feet = 1 mile \n3 miles = 1 league (l) \nLiquid Measure (Capacity) \n4 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 gill (gi) \n4 gills = 1 pint (pt) \n2 pints = 1 quart (qt) \n4 quarts = 1 gallon (gal) \nMariners’ Measure \n6 feet = 1 fathom (fath) \n120 fathoms = 1 cable’s length (US Navy) \n1,852 metres = 1 nautical mile (n mi) \n1 nautical mile per hour (n mph) = 1 knot (k) \nPaper Measure \n25 sheets = 1 quire (qr) \n20 quires = 1 standard ream (rm) \n516 sheets = 1 printers’ ream \n2 reams = 1 bundle (bdl) \n4 bundles = 1 case (c) \nPrinters’ Measure (Typography) \n0.013837 inches = 1 point \n12 points = 1 pica \nSquare Measure (Area) \n144 square inches (sq in) = 1 square foot (sq ft) \n9 square feet = 1 square yard (sq yd) \n30.25 square yards = 1 square rod (sq rd) \n160 square rods = 1 acre \n640 acres = 1 square mile (sq mi) \nSurveyors’ Measure \n7.92 inches = 1 link (li) \n66 feet = 1 chain \n80 chains = 1 mile \nWood Measure \n144 cubic inches (1' x 1' x 1'') = 1 board foot (bd ft) \n16 cubic feet (4' x 4' x 1') = 1 cord foot (cd ft) \n8 cord feet = 1 cord (cd) \nWEIGHTS \nWeight (Apothecaries’) \n20 grains = 1 scruple (s ap) \n3 scruples = 1 dram (dr ap) \n8 drams = 1 ounce (oz ap) \n12 ounces = 1 pound (lb ap) \nWeight (Avoirdupois) \n27.3438 grains = 1 dram (dr) \n16 drams = 1 ounce (oz) \n16 ounces = 1 pound (lb) \n14 pounds = 1 stone \n100 pounds = 1 hundredweight (cwt) \n8 stones = 1 long hundredweight \n(l cwt) \n2,000 pounds = 1 short ton (ST) \n2,240 pounds = 1 long ton (LT) or 20 (l cwt) \nWeight (Troy) \n24 grains = 1 pennyweight (dwt) \n20 pennyweights = 1 ounce (oz t) \n12 ounces = 1 pound (lb t) \n\nMiscellaneous Units\nWEIGHT/MEASURE UNITS \nAbsolute zero = -273.15o C (-459.67o F) \n1 atmosphere = 760 mm of mercury \n1 cup = 10 fluid ounces \n1 carat (international) = 200 milligrams (gem weight) \n1 megaton = 1,000,000 tons \n3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon \n1 angstrom unit = 0.1 nanometre \n1 bolt of cloth = 40 yards \n1 gross = 12 dozen, or 144 \n1 light-year = 9.46 x 1012 km \n(5.88 x 1012 mi) \n1 tablespoon = 1/2 fluid ounce

It depends on how precise you need to be.\n\nIf you're looking for a rough estimate a micrometer or caliper would be fine, though they will always underestimate the thickness since the paper will distort under the pressure of the instrument.\n\nIf you can assume that your piece of paper is of uniform thickness (and you have many pieces) you can measure the stack and divide by the number of sheets.  If you only have one piece you can fold it into a stack, measure that thickness and divide by the number of folds.  \n\nIf this is only a hypothetical question or you have some money to spend there are laser micrometers that can measure the thickness of transparent or semi-opaque films down to a few microns.

Density = Mass / Volume\nIf you know any 2 of the above quantities, you can find the other.

(1) Take a container and measure the length of the container. Let us say the length of the container is L. \n\n(2) Take a beam of light (preferably a monochromatic source like laser beam) and shine it through the empty container. \n\n(3) Measure the intensity of the light at the end where the beam has gone through the empty container. Let this be Io. \n\n(4) Now fill the container with the liquid whose molar extinction coefficient is unknown. Now measure the light intensity as the beam travels the length L of the container. The measured intensity is I.\n\n(5) Beer-Lamberts law is I=Io exp(-a L) where all the quantities have been experimentally determined except a which is the extinction coefficient. \nRearrange the above formula and we get, a=(-1/L)*log(I/Io) where log is to the base e.

The temperature of a substance depends on the speed with which the molecules are vibrating.So,only matter which has some sort of energy can have temperature.A vacuum is just nothing.Due to this,temperature of vacuum cannot be measured.

Matter is anything that has Mass and takes up space.  The general properties of matter are mass, weight, volume and density.   They are considered physical properties.\n\nLook around you and you will see matter.  Air is matter because it takes up space.  Heat and light does not have mass or takes up space, so it is not matter.  \n\nScientists have separated matter into states or phases.  Prior to 1985 there were 4 states or phases, today we have 5 states or phases.  Each of these phases certain properties associated with each phases.  Matter can be changed from one state or phase to another phase by energy.  There are five types of phase changes.
