As long as none of the water evaporates as the ice melts, the mass of water left over will be exactly the same as the mass of the ice cubes.

the mass of ice is less than that of water ( that's why it floats ) therefore when it melts it takes up less space ( water expands when it freezes ) so the mass ( not the size ) is greater although the weight remains the same

Yes. Ice is less dense than water, which is why it floats.

Yes. Usually in the liquid phase, a substance's volume will increase - that is, its density will increase. Water is exceptional in this respect - water has less volume than ice.

i think the denser the liquid is, the longer it will take the ice cube to melt. maybe :)

Answer No


How do volcanoes change earths landforms?

They melt objects and later hardens into igneous rock


How can an objects density change?

It can if more of the substance is added to it.


If an objects volume is unchanged then how will its density change?

It won't change. Density is volume divided by mass, so if volume doesn't change, density doesn't change unless you change the mass of the object.


Does a marshmallow with a high density and less sugar melt faster than one with a low density and more sugar?

if it has a high density it will melt slower the same way the more water the longer it takes to change temperature


How does density change with different objects?

The density changes with different objects as all have different mass and volume(the space an object occupies) and the more compressed(Compact) the object is the more density it has.


Why do waves change direction when they are near shore?

The reason they change direction near shore is because the density of objects increase!


Can objects change their density?

Yes! I'm glad you asked! An object can vary with density, but only so. Example: If an objects density is, say, 6.7, it would NOT be able to increase to 9.8. Say you have a gummy bear, and it's density is 1.5. It may very well change to 1.8, or 2.0. But not to 3.0.


Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?

If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.


What objects float and what objects don't?

Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.


How does a change volume affect an objects density when mass stays the same?

With constant mass, a decrease in volume will increase the the density. Conversely, an increase in volume will decrease the density.


What determines an objects density?

An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
