How does mass and volume relate to matter?

Question

Isaac Abel · Accepted Answer

Mass is an indirect measure of the amount of matter
Volume is the space that matter occupies

Matter is made of particles, atomic and subatomic. Matter has the properties of mass and volume. All particles contain some mass which has an effect on space, and time. The more matter or particles the greater the mass. Mass creates a force known as gravity. By measuring the weight or force caused by the mass an indirect measure of the amount of matter in a substance or object can be found. All particles occupy space. or volume. As a gas a few particles of matter can occupy a large degree of space. liquid particles occupy more space generally as the particles increase in kinetic energy or temperature. ( the freezing of water is an exception to this rule) As Volume varies with other factors than the amount of matter it is not a good indicator of the amount of matter in a substance or object.

Isaac Abel · Answer

Mass and volume are related to density of the matter,.

If mass remain same and volume comes down its density will be high.

Eleanor Apodaca · Answer

undefined Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space that the object occupies. The relationship between mass and volume can be expressed through density, which is the mass of an object per unit volume. In other words, density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Therefore, objects with higher mass for a given volume have higher density, while objects with lower mass for the same volume have lower density.
