Question

Volume is defined as the amount of mass that an object has? True or false

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mass and volume are two different quantities. In fact:

- Mass is a scalar quantity representing the "amount of matter" contained in a certain substance. It is measured in kilograms (kg), which is one of the 7 fundamental SI units.

- Volume is a scalar quantity representing the amount of "three-dimensional space" occupied by an object or a substance. It is measured in cubic meters ($m^3$).

Therefore, mass and volume are two different quantities. They are related through another quantity called density, given by:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

So the density of a substance represents the amount of mass contained in a certain volume of the substance.
