| Mass
is the quantity of matter which a body contains. This is the same
wherever the body is. There are three states of matter: solid, liquid
and gas.. all of these contain atoms and/or molecules that make up the mass
of the object.
If my mass was 65 kg. This would be true wherever I went in the universe. Just because I travelled to the moon wouldn't make the number of atoms and molecules in my body change.. it would be the same.. just as my dress-size would! My mass would remain at 65 kg. Mass AlwaysStays theSame!! How tightly packed the mass is within a given space is called the density Click here to read Hannah's 'Mass and Weight Rap' Mass is a measure of inertia. The more mass an object has the more difficult it is to make it accelerate. See Newton's first law.I |
