Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms given in the problem: Mass, Density, Volume, and Weight.
Recall that 'Mass' is defined as the measure of the amount of matter in an object, regardless of its location or the force acting on it.
Recognize that 'Density' is the mass per unit volume of a substance, which relates mass and volume but is not itself a measure of the amount of matter alone.
Know that 'Volume' refers to the amount of space an object occupies, not the amount of matter.
Understand that 'Weight' is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, which depends on both mass and gravitational acceleration, so it is not a direct measure of the amount of matter.
