What is the difference between mass and volume and how are they alike?

Mass and volume are not similar. Asking how they are alike is like asking how length and weight are alike: a string 100 yards long will weigh less than a fire hydrant, which is only three feet tall. If you have two objects made of the same material, the one occupying the greater volume will have the greater weight. But if two objects are made of different material, you can draw no conclusions form their volumes, because the smaller object -- that is, the one with less volume -- may actually have greater weight. If a small object has greater weight than a large one, we can conclude that it has greater density -- which is mass divided by volume.

The difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
What is the physical property difference between a baseball and a football?
Volume, mass, shape, density, to name a few.
What is the relationship between the mass and volume of milk?
mass / volume is density.
A relationship between mass and volume is known as?
The mathematical relationship between mass 'm' and volume 'V' is that the ratio of these two quantities is equal to the density. The ratio of a substanceâ??s mass and volume is given as mass per unit volume. Density is a physical property of a substance.
Describe density in terms of mass and volume?
density is the measure that describes the relationship between mass and volume
What is the difference between mass and size?
mass deals with density and volume but size deals with volume only.
The difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
What is the difference between a kiloliter and a kilogram?
A kiloliter is a volume measure, and kilogram is a mass measure.

A ratio between mass and volume?
The ratio between mass and volume is density.
How can you convert among the count mass and volume of something?
To convert between mass and volume you need the density of the substance. Density = mass/volume. It is not clear what you mean by count. If you are thinking of large scale objects then if they are all alike, you can convert mass to count if you know the mass of one of them. I wonder if you are thinking of chemical quantity expressed in moles? The conversion in this case is moles = mass/molar mass.
What is the difference between a measuring spoon and a scale?
scale measures force and/or mass; spoon measures volume
What is the physical property difference between a baseball and a football?
Volume, mass, shape, density, to name a few.
What is the difference in mass and volume?
Mass it how many particles an object has and volume is the space it takes up.
