"density"
No, mass is not the amount of matter in a given space. It is actually density.
The amount of matter is given space is mass.
The amount of mass in a given space is called density. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, and it represents how tightly packed the mass is within a given volume.
Mass.
Not exactly. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume. In other words, mass divided by volume.
They are related, sort of. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter - density is a measurement of the amount of matter in a given amount of space.
The amount of matter in a given volume of space is its D-E-N-S-I-T-Y Its Density NOT Volume!
Density is a measure of how much mass is present in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Objects with higher density have more mass in a smaller amount of space.
Since "amount of matter" is measured as an object's mass and "a given space" is measured as volume, the amount of matter in an a given space should equal mass/volume. Mass divided by volume is an object's density. Acceptable units of density include: grams/liters, kilograms/cubic meters, slugs/cubic inch, slugs/cubic foot, and many others.
Density since ρ=m/v or in words; density is equal to the mass divided by the volume. i.e. amount of matter in a given space.
The amount of a material in a given space is its density. Density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume and is a measure of how tightly packed the atoms and molecules of a substance are in a given volume.
the amount of matter in a given space; mass per unit volume
