The second law makes use of the concept of mass, so that seems to be next on the agenda. The second law makes use of the concept of mass, so that seems to be next on the agenda.
### Mass ### Mass
You might have previously heard the Newtonian definition of mass, which makes it synonymous with a measure for the "quantity of matter" in an object. However, physicists have since come to a consensus that this is a definition sans precision. Mass is the *measure of the inertia of an object.^ The more mass an object has, the greater the force needed to give it a particular acceleration. In other words, get it moving.
