Which statement about mass is correct? (1 point)
Mass is a force that attracts objects toward each other.
Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
The mass in an object is variable.
Mass is measured in Newtons (N).

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. This means that regardless of the object’s location—whether on Earth, the Moon, or in space—its mass remains constant, giving us a reliable understanding of how much “stuff” it contains.

On the flip side, it’s important to remember that mass is not the same as weight. While mass is measured in kilograms (kg), weight is the force that results from gravity acting on that mass, measured in Newtons (N). So, even if you change locations, your mass stays the same but your weight can change!
