Question

Mass is a measure of _______.

the force on an object due to gravity

the weight of an object, and is measured in pounds (lbs)

the quantity of matter in an object and the inertia of the object

the quantity of space an object occupies

Answer 1

$\text{Solution :}\\ \text{Option 3 is correct.} \\ \text{Mass is a measure of "the quantity of matter in an object and inertia of the object." }\\ \ \\ \text{Explanation : }\\ \implies 1. \ \text{Force on object due to gravity is given by: }\ \ F = m\ g \\ \text{Where; "m" is mass.} \ \ \text{"g" is acceleration due to gravity. This is false}.\\ \ \\ \implies 2.\ \text{Weight is force on object due to gravity.} \ \ W = F= m\ g.\ \text{This is false}.\\ \ \\ \implies 4.\ \text{The quantity of space an object is called "volume of the object"}\ \ \text{This is false.}$
