Answer:

1. Mass

2. Weight

Step-by-step explanation:

1. All the physical quantities that exist in the universe that have mass, are measurable because they can be measured on instruments such as scales. For this example, the amount of food can be measured on a scale and its mass determined in grams or ounces.

2. When we talk about a mass of a body influenced by gravity we are talking about weight, weight is a force that points in the direction of Earth's gravitational acceleration. That is, weight depends on the gravitation that interacts with the body. For the example we have that the weight of the dog is equal to the product of the mass of the dog by the gravity of the Earth.
