Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.

Does gravity depend on density?

Gravity does not depend on density. Gravity is the gravitational pull that is invisible and cannot be touched or changed. Density is how much matter is packed within an object, which can be changed. Gravity and density are two totally different things, and are in no way related, therefore gravity does not depend on density.


What is the ratio of an object's density to the density of water is called the object's?

specific gravity


Does an object's ability to float depend on its density?

Yes, it does depend on the object's density; it depends on the liquid's density, too. An object with a lower density than the liquid it is in will float, while an object with a heavier density than the liquid will sink.


What is the number that compares an object's density to the density of water called?

The number that compares an object's density to the density of water is called specific gravity. It is a unitless quantity representing the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.


What is the number that compares an objects density to the density of water?

That is the specific gravity of the substance.


What compares an object's density to the density of water?

The object's density is compared to the density of water using a ratio known as specific gravity. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the specific gravity is greater than 1, the object will sink in water; if less than 1, it will float.


Specific is the ratio of an object's density to that of water?

What is the gravity of copper?

The gravitational forces associated with an object depend on the object's mass, but they don't depend at all on the substance the object is made of.


On what factors does the weight of an object depend?

Gravity and Mass


What detirmines the weight of an object?

The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.
