Answer:

Mass

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of an object expresses the amount of matter it comprises. Which implies that objects with higher mass contains higher matter compared to objects with lesser masses. Thereby it determines the measure of inertia experienced by an object when a force is applied to change its direction of motion, or to set it in motion when at rest, or bring it to rest when in motion.

The mass of an object the same no matter its location, and it is measured in kilograms.
