[edit] Matter

Matter refers to any physical object that has Mass or Volume that exist in any of these three states Solid like Rock, Liquid like Water, Gas like Oxygen. For example Particles , Atoms , Animals , Humans , Rock ...

[edit] Mass

Mass is used to indicate Matter's quantities . Mass of any object is measured in unit Kiligram , Kg

[edit] Volume

Volume is used to indicate the physical state of an object . Volume is measured in Meter Cube , m3

Volume of a square cube of side C

V = C3

Volume of a rectangular is the product of Length , Width and Height

V = L x W x H

[edit] Density

Since every matter has a Mass m and a Volume v . Therefore ratio of Mass over Volume can be used to measured the Desity of a Matter

Desity = \frac{Mass}{Volume}
D = \frac{M}{V}
\frac{kg}{m^3} = \frac{kg}{m^3}

For Examples Density of 1 kg Cube of side C

D = \frac{1}{C^3}

Density of 1 kg Cube of side C

D = \frac{1}{L W H}
