Original density = M/V

New density = (KM)/(KV) = (K/K) (M/V) = original density.

If the mass and volume both increase by the same factor, the density is unchanged.
It only means that you have a larger piece of the same substance.

Density is Mass / Volume. If volume is held constant, but Mass is increased, then the numerator of the fraction increases, therefore the density increases.

Gause's exclusion principle refers to?

It just is that two species competing for the same resource can not exist if all other ecological factors are held constant. Held constant is important here. A time varience in species feeding, such as diurnal vs nocturnal would not be holding ecological conditions constant. so, if held constant in ecological conditions, one species woul be excluded from the resource.


Is it true that the pressure of a column of air at sea level as it becomes cooler and subsequently became denser it would be heavier?

This is tricky because it depends what you're holding constant, i.e., what you mean by "column of air" When air cools, it becomes denser because it compresses - this assumes no change in mass (or amount) of air. If you're talking about a discrete column of air that does not change in mass, then cooling it would cause to to compress and become denser because the volume is less (density = mass/volume). The pressure would remain the same because there is the same amount of air. If you want to change the amount of air in the column as fluid dynamics would demand, then you'd be holding volume constant. So the column would cool, compress, and more air would move in to fill the spot left by its compression. So the column would increase in mass as well as density and pressure.


Why objects dint float in water?

Objects float (or not) because of their density. In this case, it means that the molecules in it are either packed up really tight, or just loosely holding onto eachother. Water has what is considered an average density. Rocks have a high density. You can tell by holding one, and noting that for how large it is, it is quite heavy. Because of this trait, they sink in water. Some woods, on the other hand, are light as a feather when being even larger than the rock, and because of this, they float on water.


How might Afghanistan's political problems be affected by its rugged physical geography?

Mountainous geography prevents the easy expression of a national government's will across the territory. Because of the presence of many choke-points, it is very difficult to force the various Afghan tribal leaders to capitulate. As a result, Afghanistan faces near-constant and chronic disunity with rebel groups holding onto at least 10% of the country at any given time.

How is the density affected by increasing the mass whiule holding the volume constant?

Holding volume constant while increasing mass will increase density. density = mass / volume


How is the density affected by increasing volume while holding the mass constant?

(mass) Density is mass/volume, so increasing the volume with mass held constant will decrease the density.

What happens to density when increasing mass and holding volume constant?

The density will increase.


How is density affected by increasing the volume while holding the mass constant?

Density would be reduced. Density is a measure of the mass per unit volume. For example, 10 particles per cubic mL. If you made the vollume bigger but kept the mass the same, there would be more room for the ten particles to spread out, they'd be further away from each other so the density would be less.

What dose inflated mean?

"Inflated" means "artificially high" in general usage. In economics, it refers to the process by which, holding the real value of goods constant, their nominal values increases. This translates into increasing price levels.

Can you transition boiled water directly to vapor under a very low temperature?

Sure, reduce the pressure.Boiling can be produced either by:raising temperature while holding constant pressurelowering pressure while holding constant temperature


Is holding other variables constant called ceteris paribus?

Ceteris paribus does translate into meaning "all other things being equal or held constant.
