which of the following best describes the mass of an object?
a. A physical property and intensive property
b. A chemical and intensive property
c. An intensive and extensive property
d. An extensive property and physical property
Mass is the measure of resistance of an object to inertia. Any property that can be measured is a physical property. Mass can be measured, and so it is a physical property.
Extensive property of an object signifies that the system can be divided into several subsystems. The value of system is the sum total of all the values of subsystems. For suppose, the mass of a diamond is is directly proportional to the the mass of left over pieces after raw mining.
Hence, right option is d) an extenive property and physical property.
