Mass refers to the amount of matter an object contains. It is a measure of an object's inertia, or its resistance to changes in motion.
Weight: Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It depends on both mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
Inertia: Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is directly related to mass.
Density: Density is a measure of how much mass is contained within a given volume. It can be calculated by dividing mass by volume.
