You might call it that; though the term "quantity of matter" is also used for the number of moles.
Mass is what gives objects inertia - making it difficult to speed a moving object up, or to slow it down. Mass also gives an object weight in a gravitational field (weight = mass x gravity).

What system is used by scientists to measure matter?
mass is the quantity of matter in an object the kilogram (kg) is used to measure mass
Is a measure of the quantity of matter.?
Depending how you interpret "quantity of matter", that can refer either to the mass (expressed in kilograms), or the number of moles.
Is weight a measure of the quantity of matter?
NO, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Weight=mass x gravity
Why does a beam balance measure mass?
Beam balance measure mass by comparing unknown quantity with known standard quantity of mass.Beam balance measure accurate quantity of matter present in that body .Quantity measured by beam balance doesn't differ in any place of world either in poles or equator but measuring scale quantity differ in different places
Quantity of matter in an object?
The quantity of matter that a body possesses is called mass. Mass can also be described as the measure of an object's resistance to a change in motion, also called inertia.
A measure of the quantity of matter is?
Mass is the measure of the quantity of matter.
What is a measure of the quantity of matter.?
Mass
What is a measure of the quantity of matter?
Mass is a quantity that describes the concentration of matter. Mass is an aggregate measure of matter and it also determines the weight of an object.
Is a measure of the quantity of matter that exists in an object?
mass (:

Measure of the quantity of matter that exists in an object?
i think mass :)
Is a measure of the quantity of matter.?
Depending how you interpret "quantity of matter", that can refer either to the mass (expressed in kilograms), or the number of moles.
Which of these is a measure of the quantity of matter that exists in an object?
The quantity of matter in an object is its mass. If you then know what the object is made from you can find out (approximately) how many atoms or molecules it has (measured in mol).
Is weight a measure of the quantity of matter?
NO, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Weight=mass x gravity

What quantity is used to measure matter?
The mole. It is defined as the number of molecules that are in 12 grams of carbon-12, which is roughly equal to the Avogadro constant 6.02214179×10²³. Since the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object, the weight of an object can be used as measure of the matter it contains..
