what is the mass?

Answer 1

1.Mass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the amount of matter and energy it is equivalent to.

2.Mass is the term used to describe celebration of the Eucharist in the Western liturgical rites of the Catholic Church, in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, and in some largely High Church Lutheran regions: in Scandinavian countries the Lutheran Eucharistic service is also known as "the Mass".

Answer 2

Mass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the amount of matter and energy it is equivalent to. It differs from weight as weight will vary depending on the local gravitational field i.e; what planet you may be on. Mass does not vary with gravitational field.

In Newtonian mechanics, there are three types of mass or properties called mass:

Inertial mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changing its state of motion when a force is applied. An object with small inertial mass changes its motion more readily, and an object with large inertial mass does so less readily.
Passive gravitational mass is a measure of the strength of an object's interaction with the gravitational field. Within the same gravitational field, an object with a smaller passive gravitational mass experiences a smaller force than an object with a larger passive gravitational mass. (This force is called the weight of the object. In informal usage, the word "weight" is often used synonymously with "mass", because the strength of the gravitational field is roughly constant everywhere on the surface of the Earth. In physics, the two terms are distinct: an object will have a larger weight if it is placed in a stronger gravitational field, but its passive gravitational mass remains unchanged.)
Active gravitational mass is a measure of the strength of the gravitational field due to a particular object. For example, the gravitational field that one experiences on the Moon is weaker than that of the Earth because the Moon has less active gravitational mass.

Answer 3

the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field
batch: (often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent; "a batch of letters"; "a deal of trouble"; "a lot of money"; "he made a mint on the stock market"; "it must have cost plenty"
an ill-structured collection of similar things (objects or people)
(Roman Catholic Church and Protestant Churches) the celebration of the Eucharist
a body of matter without definite shape; "a huge ice mass"
multitude: the common people generally; "separate the warriors from the mass"; "power to the people"
bulk: the property of something that is great in magnitude; "it is cheaper to buy it in bulk"; "he received a mass of correspondence"; "the volume of exports"
a musical setting for a Mass; "they played a Mass composed by Beethoven"
a sequence of prayers constituting the Christian Eucharistic rite; "the priest said Mass"
join together into a mass or collect or form a mass; "Crowds were massing outside the palace"
aggregate: gathered or tending to gather into a mass or whole; "aggregate expenses include expenses of all divisions combined for the entire year"; "the aggregated amount of indebtedness"

Answer 4

The mass of *what*?? (Or, if you're Catholic, *which* mass?)

Or do you mean 'what is mass?'

If it's the latter, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. It is commonly (and incorrectly) called 'weight'. But weight only has meaning in a gravitational acceleration. In free space an object has no weight, but it still has mass.

Answer 5

mass = density times volume
mass = total force divided by acceleration
mass = inertia
mass = number of mole times mole mass

Mass is a basic property and can be described very difficultly. The same for love, time, length, electric charge and temperature. However everybody 'knows' and can deal with it.

Answer 6

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. This is a very simple, non-scientific way of explaining, put in lay man's terms.

Answer 7

Mass is defined as the measure of the inertia of an object. Sometimes it is also defined as the number of physical particles that composes an object, although this defintion is more vague than the first one.
