What is the mass of an object?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The amount of matter in a body measured is called mass.
  2. It is constant throughout the universe.
  3. It is a scalar quantity that cannot be measured everywhere using the same spring balance. Since spring balance measured mass(m)=weightAccelrationduetogravity(g).
  4. As a result, the weight of an object changes with its position, yet g remains constant for that particular instrument. As a result, the reading will not be accurate.
