Question

define mass in 20 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (rate of change of velocity with respect to time) when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies.

The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less than it does on Earth because of the lower gravity, but it would still have the same mass. This is because weight is a force, while mass is the property that (along with gravity) determines the strength of this force.

Answer 2

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Mass measures the quantity of matter regardless of both its location in the universe and the gravitational force applied to it. SI unit of Mass is kilogram (kg)
