Mass is that property of an object which:

  • Gives it inertia. More mass means it is harder to change an object's velocity.
  • Makes it attract other objects, via the gravitational force. This is what gives the object its weight. (Weight also depends on the gravitational field.)

The kg (kilogram) is the international unit for mass. It is APPROXIMATELY equal to the mass of one liter of water.

What is A force produces an acceleration of 0.5 m s2 on a body of mass 1 kg What is the acceleration if the same force acts on a body of mass 2 kg?

The force produces an acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2 on a body of mass 1 kg, so using Newton's second law (F=ma), the force is 1 * 0.5 = 0.5 N. When the same force acts on a body of mass 2 kg, the acceleration will be 0.5 N / 2 kg = 0.25 m/s^2.
