Question

review it!
select the statement(s) that accurately define mass.
mass is how much matter is in an object.
objects with a large size will always have a greater mass than objects with a smaller size.
it is possible for a small object to have a large mass.
only objects over a certain size have mass.
mass is a property of all objects.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • "Mass is how much matter is in an object." This is a standard definition of mass.
  • "Objects with a large size will always have a greater mass than objects with a smaller size." Size and mass are not directly proportional (e.g., a small lead ball can have more mass than a large balloon filled with air), so this is incorrect.
  • "It is possible for a small object to have a large mass." For example, a small piece of a dense material like lead can have a large mass compared to a larger but less dense object, so this is correct.
  • "Only objects over a certain size have mass." All objects, regardless of size (including subatomic particles), have mass, so this is incorrect.
  • "Mass is a property of all objects." Mass is an intrinsic property of any object that has matter, so this is correct.

Answer:

  • Mass is how much matter is in an object.
  • It is possible for a small object to have a large mass.
  • Mass is a property of all objects.
