INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can measure mass using a balance. A balance is different from a scale because it uses a known mass to measure the unknown mass where as a scale actually measures weight. Finding mass with a triple-beam balance or a double-pan balance is a form of measuring gravitational mass. This is a static measurement, which means it is only accurate when the object being measured is at rest. A balance can measure weight and mass. Because the measurement of the balance weights change by the same factor as the object being measured, a balance is able to accurately provide the mass of an object regardless of the specific gravity of the environment. Inertial mass is a dynamic measuring method, meaning that it can only be accomplished while the object being measured is in motion. The inertia of the object is used to quantify the amount of matter. An inertial balance is used to measure inertial mass. Secure the inertial balance to a table. Calibrate the inertial balance by putting the container in motion counting the number of vibrations in a specified time period, for example 30 seconds. Place an item of known mass in the container and repeat the experiment. Continue using several items of known mass to finish calibrating the scale. Repeat the experiment with an item of unknown mass. Graph all results to find the mass of the final object.

SUMMARY: Measure gravitational mass. Measure inertial mass.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The words that a writer chooses can have a major impact on the tone, clarity, and quality of their writing. When looking at the writer's work, consider factors such as: Whether the words they use clearly express the desired meaning. Whether the words they use are appropriate for the tone of the article (e.g., do then need to be more formal or casual?). Whether the vocabulary is varied enough to keep the reader's interest. Whether words are being used correctly and at a level appropriate to the writer's age, developmental level, or experience level. Whether the word choice is appropriate for the intended audience of the piece. A writer's "voice" is what makes their work distinctive and interesting. Try to get a sense of whether the writer's work conveys a tone that reflects their personal style or unique viewpoint. This might include factors such as: The use of distinctive words, phrases, and metaphors instead of cliches and stock phrases. A unifying and consistent mood or tone. Confident "ownership" of opinions and viewpoints. The tone and style of a written work should fit the format and context of the piece. When you are evaluating a writer's work, keep the purpose of the piece in mind. For example: If the work is intended for a general audience, a chatty and informal tone might be appropriate. For an academic essay, the tone and word choice should be formal and technical. The passive voice is also more appropriate in academic writing than in other types of writing. While good advertising copy might appeal to the reader's emotions, an informative essay on a technical topic should be written in a more objective and impartial tone. Asses the writer's ability to express ideas clearly without excessive padding or wordiness. In addition to individual sentences, look at the overall structure of the piece. Are there unnecessary tangents and redundant sentences or paragraphs? Does the piece contain unnecessary background information (i.e., information that is already obvious to the reader)? If the writer needs to be able to use a particular house style or citation format, take this into account when evaluating their writing. Make sure that they follow any guidelines regarding things like: Page length or word count. Fonts and special characters. Formatting for sources and citations. Line spacing, margin sizes, and headers.

SUMMARY: Evaluate word choice and vocabulary. Look for originality and a clear voice. Determine if the style is appropriate for the type of writing. Watch for concise, straightforward language. Assess the format and presentation of the writing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Echinacea tea is best used early to help deal with some of the early cold symptoms. Echinacea has been shown to reduce the symptoms and the duration of colds. Echinacea rarely causes any adverse effects, but in rare cases some people can have allergic reactions, such as nausea and headaches. Garlic has antibacterial and antiviral properties and has been used for thousands of years to reduce the severity of colds by boosting the immune system. Take garlic as a supplement (according to manufacturer's instructions) and use garlic in all your cooking. An easy way to take garlic while you have a cold is to add one to two cloves to your chicken soup! Elderberry tea is a long-standing remedy for colds. Elderberry is an effective immune-modulating herb with antiviral properties. Ginger is a warming herb and is safe for pregnant women and children when taken as a tea. Ginger also has antiviral properties that can help relieve your cold.

SUMMARY:
Use echinacea at the first sign of symptoms. Add garlic to your diet. Drink elderberry tea. Eat ginger.
