How is the relative density of an object determined?

Relative density is determined by the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.


The density of an object is a what?

The density of an object is its mass per unit of volume and is determined by dividing its mass by its volume.


What detirmines the weight of an object?

The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.


What factors determine wheter or not an object will float?

Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.


How do things sink and float?

it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it's in. if the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, then the object will sink. if the density of the object is lesser than the density of the liquid, the object will float.


What is density determined by?

Density is determined by two measurements: the mass and volume of an object. The quotient of the mass and volume (mass divided by volume) is density. It can be represented as grams per milliliter (g/mL).


How can the desity of an object be determined?

Not sure about desity. If you meant density, it is mass/volume.


How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?

If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.


How thick is a mass?

This is an un-answerable question. The mass of an object is determined by the density of its matter and the size of the particular object.


Does an ob jects volume determined the mass?

Yes... provided you know the density of the object.


How is mass and volume determined in density?

Mass and volume are not determined by density. Rather density is determined by mass and volume


Is the centre of gravity the same for an object placed on the moon and the surface of the earth?

Yes. COG is determined by the object shape & density distribution, not by its location.
