Question

Matter occupies space. Explain with an example.
​

Answer 1

A common or traditional definition of matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)". For example, a car would be said to be made of matter, as it has mass and volume (occupies space). Hope it helps

Answer 2

It is bvious that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. The reason for this is quite simple: Each object requires its own space. Another deduction that we could make is that matter that is displaced by some other substance occupies other available space.

Matter has volume and mass

If you drink all the cold drink in a cold drink can, the can is not left empty. The original contents (cold drink) have been replaced with air! The same space is therefore occupied by another form of matter! Sometimes we speak of the contents of the tin, meaning the matter inside the tin. The space inside the tin that is occupied by matter (cold drink or air, in this instance) is referred to as volume. To some extent, therefore, volume and content are synonymous.
