What is mass?

• A measure of how much matter an object contains.

• The downward pull on an object due to gravity.

• The amount of space that matter in an object takes up.

• Measure of the amount of matter present in a given volume of a substance.

Which equation do we use to find the volume of an irregular object (displacement method)?

• density = mass / volume

• volume = length x width x height

• volume = end volume - initial volume
