Answers
Explanation:
1)
mass
Mass, in physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is, in effect, the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force. The greater the mass of a body, the smaller the change produced by an applied force.
2)
kg
3)
Scientists often measure mass with a balance. A type of balance called a triple beam balance is pictured in Figure below.
4)
volume
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains. Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre.
5)
metre cube or cubic metre
