NO.Ex:- Vacuum.Acquires space but does not have mass.Ex:-Magnetic field.Acquires space but does not have mass.They have a effect on other substances even if they do not have mass.

The definition of mass from the Chemistry Dictionary is : "A measure of the amount of matter in an object. Mass is usually measured in grams or kilograms".
A more scientifically physical definition is in Wikipedia - see the link below.
Yes and no. Classic physics define mass as the amount of matter an object has. The modern (Einstein based) physics, says that mass changes as the object approaches the speed of light, therefore only the Rest Mass is the indication of an object's amount of matter, but mass in general is a term used to describe "the amount the universe resists an an object's velocity change" (a bit tricky, I know.)
Mass is the quantity of inertia possessed by an object
This is an intriguing question and my contribution here may very well throw up more questions. Two apples weigh 100gms each. There mass is equal. But what if we take one apple aboard a spaceship and accelerate the apple to 0ne half c, light speed. Its mass has increased. These two apples that were identical are now not. The spaceship apple now has more mass. Presumably they still taste the same.
Since the higgs boson gives particles mass, maybe the addition of the higgs boson is the bakery equivalent to adding flour to the cake mix. As long as we stir the mix slowly the resistance (mass) or the force required to stir the cake mix is a certain value. Even if we increase the rate of stirring by a small amount, we wont notice much difference. If we attempt to stir the mixture flat out, (approach light speed ) then there is a logarithmic increase in the effort needed. An increase in mass. There is a limit which is the strength in our arms.
It would appear that mass is only a constant at the normal values we experience day to day and not an absolute value.
Maybe mass is just the viscosity of matter in space time.
The mass of an object is the quantity of matter in it.
The amount of space an object takes up is its volume.
These are different properties from each other.
yes mass take up space and can NEVER change
No. The amount of space an object fills is the object's "volume".
The object's mass is the amount of material stuff it's made of.

- As said bye 'Bob Marley'
Mass is the amount of matter in a object.
yes
YES
The amount of matter in an object is called mass.
No. the amount of matter is mass.
Its mass.
The amount of matter in an object is usually described with its mass or volume.
It is the mass of the object.
The amount of matter in an object is mass.
No, weight is how much gravity is pulling down on an object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
The amount of matter in an object is called mass.
called mass- mass: amount of matter an object obtains
The amount of matter in an object is equal to its Mass.

amount of matter making up an object(the answer is Mass)mass
No. the amount of matter is mass.
Mass!! Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Mass!! Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
An object's mass is a measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known masses. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
the mass of an object measures the amount of matter in a object.
