Newton’s Laws of Motion and Gravity Define mass‚ weight‚ force‚ and acceleration. Mass – A measure of the total amount of material in a body‚ defined either by the inertial properties of the body or by its gravitational influence on other bodies. It is proportional to‚ but not the same as‚ its mass Force – A quantitative description of the interaction between two physical bodies‚ such as an object and its environment.
