Mass

Real World Example

Imagine trying to determine how much food you have left in your pantry without opening every can and box. Just like you rely on the weight of the items to estimate their contents, mass is the measure of how much matter an object contains without needing to look inside. In this analogy, the amount of food represents the matter, and the feeling of heaviness when you lift a can or box corresponds to the mass, helping you gauge the quantity without direct examination.
