No, mass is not the amount of matter in a given space. It is actually density.
Density since ρ=m/v or in words; density is equal to the mass divided by the volume. i.e. amount of matter in a given space.
Since "amount of matter" is measured as an object's mass and "a given space" is measured as volume, the amount of matter in an a given space should equal mass/volume. Mass divided by volume is an object's density. Acceptable units of density include: grams/liters, kilograms/cubic meters, slugs/cubic inch, slugs/cubic foot, and many others.
Density is the amount of mass in a given volume.The symbol most often used for density is p (the lower case Greek letter rho). Mathematically, density is calculated as mass divided by volume (p = m/V).
The amount of matter is given space is mass.
No, mass is not the amount of matter in a given space. It is actually density.
The amount of mass in a given space is called density. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, and it represents how tightly packed the mass is within a given volume.
"density"
The amount of matter in a given volume of space is its D-E-N-S-I-T-Y Its Density NOT Volume!
Density is a measure of how much mass is present in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Objects with higher density have more mass in a smaller amount of space.
The amount of a material in a given space is its density. Density is defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume and is a measure of how tightly packed the atoms and molecules of a substance are in a given volume.
Density since ρ=m/v or in words; density is equal to the mass divided by the volume. i.e. amount of matter in a given space.
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space that an object occupies. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.
Since "amount of matter" is measured as an object's mass and "a given space" is measured as volume, the amount of matter in an a given space should equal mass/volume. Mass divided by volume is an object's density. Acceptable units of density include: grams/liters, kilograms/cubic meters, slugs/cubic inch, slugs/cubic foot, and many others.
Density
They are related, sort of. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter - density is a measurement of the amount of matter in a given amount of space.
Density is the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance. The formula for density is density = mass/volume.
