Forces
A force is an interaction that would change the motion of a given object.
Mass is the density of the object while weight is its resistance against gravity. Volume is related to mass via density.
Weight
Weight is mass multiplied by gravity. $w = mg$
Friction
Friction is a force caused by the collision of surfaces that are inherently uneven. It is mathematically defined as $F_f = F_nm$ where $F_f$ is friction, $F_n$ is the normal force1), and $m$, the coefficient of friction.
