Mass
• Is a measure of the amount of substance/matter in an object
• SI Unit: kilogram (kg)
• It is a scalar quantity
• Mass is a constant anywhere in the universe. It is not affected by
gravitational field strength.
•The mass of an object can be measured by a beam balance or
electronic balance
(Note: Mass CANNOT be changed by applied force)
