8. MASS the amount of matter in an object doesn't change based on location measured on a balance WEIGHT gravitational pull on an object depends on the object's distance from the center of the earth measured on a spring scale

9. How massive objects are for their size Example: ball of cork vs. ball of lead SI Units: kg/m 3 (useful for gases, not for solids or liquids) Instead: g/cm 3 or g/mL NOTE: Density depends on temperature because substances expand as temperature increases.
