Answer 1

The correct statement about mass is:

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.

The other statements are incorrect:

• Mass is not measured in Newtons (N); Newtons are a unit of force.
• Mass itself is not a force but an intrinsic property of an object, while the gravitational force it experiences depends on its mass.
• The mass of an object is a constant value and does not vary under normal conditions.
