Well, first of all, you can never say that a volume is larger or smaller than a mass.
Volume and mass are different physical quantities, they have different physical
dimensions, described in different units, and can't be compared or converted.
When you talk about comparing a volume to a mass, the only thing you can compare
is the numbers, but you have to remember that neither of them is just a number.
In order to become a volume or a mass, the number needs to have a unit too.
A 'density' is a mass divided by a volume. If the mass number is bigger than the
volume number, then the density number is more than ' 1 ' . If the mass number
is less than the volume number, then the density number is less than ' 1 '.
But it doesn't mean anything. The same substance can give you a density more
than 1 or less than 1. It just depends on the units you use for mass or for volume.
Let's say I have a lump of stuff in my hand. OK ? It doesn't matter what substance it is.
Its mass is 50 grams, and its volume is 80 cubic centimeters. What's the density ?
-- The density is 0.625 grams/cubic centimeter
-- The density is 0.000625 kilogram/cubic centimeter
-- The density is 625 grams/liter
-- The density is 625 kilograms/cubic meter
-- The density is 625,000 grams/cubic meter
Density can be a tiny number, a gigantic number, or in between. It just depends on
the units you use. The actual density doesn't change, and the object doesn't know
that anything is happening, because the mass doesn't change, and the volume doesn't
change. You're just changing the units of measure.
You can think of the answer to this from your real life experience;
As you know, here on the ground (I'm assuming you're on the ground), anything with mass has weight. Even in outer space, things with more mass take more effort to move around.
You know from experience that a block of metal is more dense than a block of dry wood of the same size, because it's heavier and harder to move around.
So you already know: The density of something is how much mass is crammed into a certain size space (volume). You might say the density is the amount of mass per unit of volume; density = mass / volume
With basic algebra, you then know that mass = density * volume
if you don't know basic algebra:
(density) * volume = (mass / volume) * volume
density * volume = mass * (volume / volume)
density * volume = mass * 1
density * volume = mass
Density is the mass divided by the volume. Density =mass/volume
Mass = density x volume
mass = volume X density
You wouldn't get the right reading of volume of the object, so you're density calculation would be off.
mass is mass for solid, liquid, and gas. density of solid > density of liquid > density of gas volume of solid < volume of liquid < volume of gas There are some exceptions to "density of solid > density of liquid" and "volume of solid < volume of liquid", with some of them being ice / water and rock / magma.
Temperature and Salinity. Both are important although temperature has a much greater effect than salinity on seawater density.
If your numerator (the mass of the substance) is larger than the denominator (the volume of the substance), then your object will sink because your ratio will be greater than one. Meaning, your volume isn't great enough to displace the fluid in which it rests. Any density less than 1 g/mL floats; any density greater than 1 g/mL will sink.
Density has nothing to do with size. A given material will have the same density regardless of its size. A small object of a material with a high density can weigh as much as or more than a large object of a material with a low density.
It makes no difference. Density = mass / volume. You divide the mass by the volume. If the volume is greater than the mass your answer will necessarilybe less than one, but that is still the correct answer showing the density in terms of the units used.
The density of water is 1. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. For things that have density more than 1, they will sink in water. For things with density less than 1, they will float in water.
The formula for mass if density is not given is mass=volume/power
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
Essentially, if its density exceeds that of water, it will sink. If its density is equal to or less than, it will float.Note : Density of water, approx 1 g / cubic centimetre.
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If that is less than the density of water, it will float; if greater it will sink
The density of water is 1. With their peel on, the orange's density is less than 1. However, without the peel, the orange's density is greater than 1. Density > 1 (Float) Density < 1 (Sink) Mass ÷ Volume = Density Mass ÷ Density = Volume Density × Volume = Mass
Density is mass divided by volume. Saturn has a big mass AND a big volume. In this case the effect if the big volume is enough to "beat " the effect of the big mass and Saturn's density is less than water.
Because volume is the ratio mass/density.
No. A very big rock has a great deal of volume- but it also has a great deal of weight. Drop it in water, and it will sink like a........rock. It is the weight per measure of volume that determines density. If the density is less than the liquid, it floats. Greater than the density of the liquid, it sinks.
increses
When you freeze water it expands, but does not gain mass, this means it's the same mass but now it is a higher volume. Density=mass over volume. More volume= less density.
