A mass in physics, is the quantity of matter
in a body as measured by its inertia. Mass
determines the acceleration produced in a
body by a given force acting on it, the
acceleration being inversely proportional to
the mass of the body. The mass also
determines the force exerted on a body by
gravity on Earth, although this attraction
varies slightly from place to place.
