How is it possible for objects of the same volume to have a different mass?

If the volume is the same that just means that they take up the same amount of space. Same height, length, and width. Mass is the weight, or how much it weighs. So if they take up the same amount of space and have a weigh differently then that means they have the same volume but different mass. And to answer your question, Yes it is possible. I hope this helped. From a 6th grade punahou student :D

Density describes how objects of a certain mass relates to it's volume and vice versa
On an atomic scale, atoms with more protons and electrons and nutrons have more mass than those with less, and they are all shoved together meaning more mass is packed in a tighter space
On a molecular scale, the different shapes or atoms, and sizes alows them to fit together in different ways
metal is more dense than water because the atoms of the metal have more particles in them, and molecularly the molecules fit together diffefferent

What term describes the amount of matter per unit volume that a substance occupies?
Volume mass area Latest correction: Of these, only volume is correct. Area is not space, and mass has nothing to do with occupied space. Two objects of different volume can have identical masses, and two objects of different mass can have the same volume. The only true statement that can be made between the two is that all objects with a measurable bounded volume have mass. That is why the only possible answer is Volume
How do two objects with indentical volumes can have different densities?
Since density=Mass/volume. If 2 solutions have the same volumes, they would have different densities because their masses are different. More explanations. For example same volume of aluminum and iron would have different mass because the atomic mass of aluminum is comparatively less than that of iron. Aluminium has nearly mass 27 amu where as iron has 56 amu. The crystalline structure would bring the atoms with different lattice distances and so the density would differ. Answer Objects of same volume have different density because as Density is equal to mass over volume so according to this relation volume and density are inverseley propotional to each others so when we increase volume density decrease so two solutions can have same volume and different densities.

Is it possible for two substances of the same volume to have a different mass but the same density?
No
Does it matter to have equal volume when comparing density?
No, you can compare densities for objects of different sizes. Just divide mass by volume for each object.
Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?
Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
Why can two objects with the same mass have different densities?
Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.

How Mass and volume can affect the density of the volume?
The definition of density is mass per unit volume. For any object or sample of a substance, it can be calculated as (mass) divided by (volume). If two objects or samples with the same volume have different masses, the one with the greater mass has greater density. If two objects or samples with the same mass have different volumes, the one with the greater volume has smaller density.
Do different objects have different density?
Yes, of course! Density=mass divided by volume.
What can you tell about two objects that have the same volume but different masses?
the two objects in question have different densities. The denser object has more mass.
What is a objects mass to its volume?
Density equalls mass divided by its volume.
If two objects have the same mass can you assume they have the same volume Explain give example?
Two objects has got same mass means the mass of both the objects is same. It does not comment any thing about the volume of the objects. If the density of the two objects is same, then only their volume will be same. If both the objects are not made up of the same material, they have most likely to have different volume. Rarely it may be same.
How do you find the density of objects?
mass divided by volume... mass/volume=density

If you increase an objects mass but not its volume what have you changed?
Its MASS
What are some objects that have the same mass but different weights?
I believe that it is not possible to have the same mass and different weights. Unless you are on the moon with a different gravitational pull.
