Does flattening a block affect mass volume and density?

Best Answer

It will not affect mass because the mass of an object stays the same (unless you take away or add mass). It will affect volume and density. Since the object is being flattened so it takes up less space, its volume is smaller. But since it is the same amount of matter just in a smaller space, the density is greater.

Basically, volume and density are inversely related (in respect to mass). With mass staying the same, as the volume decreases, the density increases.

Density = Mass/Volume

It is the mass of the block divided by its volume.

4096 cm is not a volume, but a length. Once you know the volume, divide the mass by the volume to get the density.

What is the density of an Aluminum block?

It depends on the volume of the block and the mass. The equation D=M/V Density=mass/volume The answered is displayed as (answer) grams/(the units in which you measured the volume) I hope this helps.


If the density of a solid is greater than that of water it sinks why then does a steel ship float in water when the density of steel is about eight times that of water?

The density of the entire ship is much less than the density of a ship-sized block of steel. That's accomplished by flattening the block of steel into a giant sheet, and then rounding the sheet on the bottom, so that it displaces much more water than the original solid block would. The final structure still has the same mass as the block of steel, but it has much more volume ... the volume of the steel, plus the additional volume of the cargo holds, the engine room, the galleys, the passenger cabins, the radio room, etc. So the original mass divided by the much greater volume winds up being a much smaller density than steel has. In fact, it winds up being smaller than the density of water.

How do you find the density of a block of wood?

you weigh the block on a balance get its mass if it is a regular shape block so the volume should be length * weadth * breadth (side * side * side) the density = mass / volume

The metal block's density is about 13.636 g/cm3


What is the density of a block of wood if 157grams occupies a volume of 78ml?

The density is 2,01 g/cm3 because the density is ratio between the mass and volume.


Which two tools would help you determine the density of a block?

Something to determine volume (like a bucket of water or a ruler), and a balance to determine mass. Divide the mass of the block by its volume to find the density of the block.
