Mass is a measure of the body's inertia.
It is the measure of the body's capacity to resist a change in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line when acted upon by an external, unbalanced force.
If F is the force and a is the acceleration produced,
F=ma where m is the mass of the body.
Therefore, m=F/a
the difference between weight and mass is that weight is determined by how much something is pulled by gravity
the amount of matter in an object

∙ 12y agoThe property of "mass" for an object can mean one of two things:
(1) the strength of the gravitational force it exerts on other objects with mass. This is called its "gravitational mass." When an object is in a gravitational field, its mass will cause a force to be exerted on it. This force is called its "weight" at that point in the gravitational field. Thus, the weight of an object is due its mass, but can vary depending on the size of the gravity field it is in.
(2) the degree to which the object resists external forces. This is called its "inertial mass."
Einstein postulated that these two properties are perfectly identical, and all experimental evidence supports that idea.
in normal science the amount of weight in an object. expressed in pounds, stone, or kilograms with the latter being the standard unit of measurement in science.
In religion, Mass refers to the celebration of the Eucharist, if you have attended a catholic mass before, you have the wine (the blood of Christ) and the bread (body of Christ).
Anything with weight that takes up space.
