Which term describes the amount of matter present in an object?

• A. Volume
• B. Mass
• C. Color
• D. Ductile

Answer: (B)

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It tells us how much stuff there is and stays the same no matter where the object is, unlike weight, which changes with gravity. Volume, by contrast, measures how much space the object occupies. Color is simply how something looks, and ductile describes a material’s ability to be drawn into a wire. Mass is measured with a balance or scale in units such as grams or kilograms.
