Mass, Weight, and Density in Physics

What is mass?

• The force exerted on an object due to gravity

• The amount of matter in an object

• The measure of how tightly packed the matter in an object is

• The measure of how much force is required to move an object

What is weight?

• The force exerted on an object due to gravity

• The amount of matter in an object

• The measure of how tightly packed the matter in an object is

• The measure of how much force is required to move an object
