The relationship between mass and volume is called density. Water has a density of around 1 tonne per cubic metre. Compare this to platinum which is around 22 tonnes per cubic metre. The density of most types of wood is less than water so it floats. Similarly, Helium has a much lower density than air, so a helium balloon will rise.

Why is the volume data placed on the x axis and the mass on the y axis?
it is easier to see that when the volume of an object is so and so, it is this mass. because an object with more mass could have less volume than an object with larger volume.
How can a object have a lot of mass but a little volume?
Volume x density = Mass A material with high density has a great mass for a small volume.
What is the effect on the density of an object when the mass is dimensionally larger than its volume?
yes
How does object volume affect buoyancy?
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
How can a small object be more dense if it does not have the most mass?
You seem to be thinking that density is the same as mass, or proportional to mass. That is not the case. Density is mass divided by volume. For example, two objects of the same material have the same density. The larger object will have more mass (in the numerator), but it will also have more volume (in the denominator).
How would you calculate the density of an object?
Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Thus, the density of an object is the mass of the object divided by its volume.
How can a small object be densest if it doesn't have the most mass?
Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.
If you divide the mass of an object and the volume what do you get?
Mass divided by volume gives the density of an object.
What is Mass volume?
An object's mass divided by its volume gives you a measure of the object's density.
How do you find the density of an object?
Mass divided by volume Ex. Mass: 12 Volume:3 Density:4 g/cm Hope this helps!
How do you find the mass of an object when you are given the volume and density of the object?
You can find the mass of the object by multiplying volume and density.
What mass that occupies a certain volume of an object?
It is the mass of the object.
