Mass
The term «mass» refers to that property of matter which in everyday language is described by the word «inertia». We know from experience that an object at rest will never start to move by itself – a push or a pull must be exerted on it by some other body. In more technical language, an external force is required to accelerate the body, and the force is said to be needed because the body has inertia.
It is also a well known fact that a force is required to slow down or to stop a body which is already in motion, and that a sidewise force must be exerted on a moving body to deviate it from a straight line. In these cases the force is known to be necessary because the body has inertia.
In every case the body is accelerated. The inertia is considered to be that property of matter because of which a force must be exerted on a body in order to accelerate it.
To have a numerical value of the inertia of a body, we take as a standard some body whose inertia is taken as unity, and state the inertia of all other bodies in terms of this standard. The inertia of a body, when stated in this quantitative way, is called its mass. Mass is a quantitative measure of inertia.
The mass of a body is an invariant property of the body, independent of its velocity, acceleration, position on the earth’s surface it differs from the weight of the body, which varies with position and elevation.
