   Mass
   The rest mass of a particle is the mass defined by the energy of the isolated (free) particle at rest, divided by the speed of light squared. When particle physicists use the word 'mass' they always mean the 'rest mass' of the object in question.

8. 
   Mass
   A measure of a body's inertia (resistance to acceleration), the amount of matter that a body contains. Strictly speaking, mass is not the same as weight or gravity, although on Earth they are often regarded as the same thing. Mass is measured in Kilogrammes. Apart from speeds approaching that of light, the mass of a body remains constant whereas weight or gravity is dependant on the masses of two or more bodies and the distance between them.

   Mass
   Mass refers to the quantity of matter present in an object. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram. In actual fact there are two kinds of mass - inertial mass and gravitational mass. Gravitational mass describes how an object responds to (and creates) a gravitational field

    Mass
    Mass is a physical property of a material. The mass gives a material weight when gravity pulls the material toward earth. The units of mass are gram and kilogram. The terms mass and weight are often used interchangeably.

    mass
    (Learning Modules / Mathematics / Beam calculations) The measure of how much physical material an object contains. In a situation of uniform gravity, such as on the surface of the Earth, the mass of an object plays a similar role to what we experience as 'weight'.

    mass
    (m) Compare with weight. Mass is a measure of the tendency of an object to resist acceleration. It's harder to roll a tractor trailer than a roller skate; the tractor trailer has a far greater mass.

    mass
    Mass (m) is the quantity of matter contained in a particle or body regardless of its location in the universe. Mass is constant, whereas weight is affected by the distance of a body from the center of the Earth (or of other planet). The SI unit is kilogram. According to the Einstein equation E = mc2 all forms of energy possess a mass equivalent.
