Matter- anything that has both mass and volume (occupies space).

Mass- a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.

Weight- a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.

Theory- a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

scientific law- a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe. A scientific law always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.

Applied research- a form of systematic inquiry involving the practical application of science. It accesses and uses some part of the research communities' accumulated theories, knowledge, methods, and techniques, for a specific, often state-, business-, or client-driven purpose.
