What is the difference between quantity of matter and mass?

Answer 1

Mass and Matter are actually the same thing to be honest.

- Actually, there is a useful distinction. Let's use the mousetrap as an example.

If I set it, it has more mass due to the energy I've put into it. E/c^2=m

So the mass has increased, but it still has the same amount of fundamental "matter" particles (electrons and quarks).

Answer 2

Mass is the amount of matter that an object contains. Weight is the amount of force that object produces due to gravity, so weight can fluctuate depending on how much mass there is and how much gravity there is (different on the moon than earth) but mass will remain constant no matter where the object is.

Answer 3

Quantity of matter refers to the amount of substance present in an object, while mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object. Mass is a scalar quantity that remains constant regardless of the object's location, whereas the quantity of matter can vary based on the substance's density.

Answer 4

Matter is anything that has mass and matter (gas, liquid, or solid), while mass is the measure of the amount of matter. The SI unit for mass is kilograms.

Answer 5

Mass is a measure of matter, weight is a measure of force. Weight = mass x acceleration. In our case the acceleration is gravity, 9.8 m/s^2.

Answer 6

The terms mass, and quantity of matter, are synonymous. The difference is that mass has only one syllable and quantity of matter has six.

Answer 7

weight is the measure of gravity fri

Answer 8

Matter occupies mass and volume.
