Question

Mass is a fundamental property of matter that measures the amount of substance in an object. It is a scalar quantity, which means it has magnitude but no direction. The standard unit of measurement for mass is the kilogram (kg), which is defined as the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), a platinum-iridium cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

Here are some examples of mass in real-world scenarios:

Everyday objects: Mass is used to describe the weight of everyday objects, such as books, food, and people.

Scientific experiments: Mass is a key factor in many scientific experiments, particularly in the fields of chemistry and physics. For example, the mass of a substance is used to calculate the number of moles in a sample, which is important for determining reaction rates and other chemical properties.

Engineering and manufacturing: Mass is an important consideration in the design and manufacture of many products, particularly those that need to meet specific weight requirements. For example, aircraft manufacturers must carefully control the mass of their planes to ensure they meet safety and performance standards.

The SI unit of Mass is kilogram [ kg ]
