What is measured by the pulling of gravity on a sample of matter?

The gravitational forces in each direction between the Earth and a sample of matter
are equal. The force exerted on the sample by the Earth is what we call the "weight"
of the sample. The force exerted by the sample on the Earth is the one that nobody
ever mentions, but it's also equal to the weight of the sample. In other words, the
weight of the sample on Earth is equal to the weight of the Earth on the sample.

What is a measure of the pull of gravity on a sample of matter?
gravity
What is measured by how much matter it contains?
Mass measures the amount of matter in a sample.
What two properties can be measured for any sample of matter?
Mass
A measure of space occupied by a sample of matter measured in liters or cubic?
volume... really?
What does potential energy of a sample of matter depend on?
Potential energy is calculated as mass x gravity x height. Gravity is 9.8 meters per second square.
Does a standard unit remains the same on the moon as it is on the earth?
In SI units we use the term mass rather than the more familiar term weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a particular sample. The mass of a sample does not depend on its location; it is the same whether measured on Earth, on the moon, or anywhere in space. Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on a sample and depends on where the sample is weighed.
How can porosity be measured?
Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.
The whole population to be measured in a scientific poll is the?
random sample or probability sample
Why the sugar granules is sample of matter What is the reason?
sugar granules is the sample matter
A sample collected by drilling into Earth's surface with a hollow drill and pulling out a column of soil and rocks?
a core sample
Is a water is a sample is a sample of matter?
Yes!
Does anti-matter weigh anything?
It seems reasonable to assume it does, but it has not been possible to get a large enough sample (or have measurements accurate enough) to confirm how it reacts to gravity.
