no density equals mass divided by volume. if both solids have a mass of 100 grams (for example) one has a volume of 100 mL (or centimeters cubed), it's density is 1 g/mL if the other has a volume of only 50 mL it's density is 2 g/mL

They have different densities. Density equals mass over volume.

Yes, if they have different masses.

Density is equal to mass divided by volume, so a larger mass, with no change in volume would result in a higher density, and vice versa.

No. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

Their masses must be different.

If their volumes are equal, then the object with the greater density has greater mass.

If two objects have the same mass can you assume they have the same volume Explain give example?

Two objects has got same mass means the mass of both the objects is same. It does not comment any thing about the volume of the objects. If the density of the two objects is same, then only their volume will be same. If both the objects are not made up of the same material, they have most likely to have different volume. Rarely it may be same.


How Mass and volume can affect the density of the volume?

The definition of density is mass per unit volume. For any object or sample of a substance, it can be calculated as (mass) divided by (volume). If two objects or samples with the same volume have different masses, the one with the greater mass has greater density. If two objects or samples with the same mass have different volumes, the one with the greater volume has smaller density.


If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?

No, they will not, unless they are the same material. Every material has a different density, and mass = density x volume


Why can two objects with the same mass have different densities?

Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.


Can you weigh density?

No. Density is a ratio; it is mass divided by volume. Anything that you can weigh has a non-zero density, but the weight of the thing is related to its mass and the gravity where it is being measured. You could have two objects of vastly different density, but the weight of the objects could be the same.

Why can two objects with the same mass and volume have the same density?

the volume could be different that could lead to the same density. For example: d=m/v so you would have a mass of 10 for compound A and a mass of 5 for compound B, and the volume of compound A is 2 and the volume of compound B has a volume of 1. Therefore both densities equal 5.

Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.


If two objects are made of the same material will they have the same density?

The density an object depends not only on the mass but also its volume i.e. D=M/V. Therefore, if two objects had the same mass and volume then they would have the same density. By contrast, if two objects had the same mass but different volumes then they would not have the same volume. In fact, the object with the least volume would be more dense or would have would have a greater density.


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).


Will two objects always have the same density?

No. Two objects could have the same density but they also could not. If the two objects were not made from the same substance they would not have the same density. Although if they did then they would have the same density.


Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?

Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.

Why do two samples with the same substance with the same volume HAVE to have the same mass?

Because they are of the same substance they have the same density density = mass/volume


What two pieces of information do you need to measure an objects' density?

you need to know its mass (weight) and volume; density is mass/volume
