Answer 1

The correct response is:

**Mass is a measure of the matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.**

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms or grams, while weight is the gravitational force experienced by that mass, usually measured in newtons. Weight can change depending on the gravitational field strength, whereas mass remains constant regardless of location.
