If an object have the same density does that make them the same material?

No. But it is uncommon to come across two materials that do.

What word tells the Amount of material that makes up something?
Density is the amount of material which will make up something. Density can be varied accordingly to make items of the same material, but for different uses.
Does density vary with the of volume of a body?
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume.The density of an object varies inversely with its volume.Thus, if you can compress and object, like a sponge, you can increase its density.Normally, we say the density of a type of material is an intrinsic property, i.e. if you have a big piece of it or a small piece of it, they both have the same density because the large piece has a proportionately larger volume than the small piece.So, a gallon of water has the same density as a milliliter of water.Note the distinctions here.1. An object, like a car, can be made of many different materials and the object, as a whole, has some density which is the mass of the car divided by the volume of the car. If you crush the car, you increase its density.2. Each type of material also has a density. The glass in the window of the car has its own density, a property inherent in that type of glass. The steel in the car has the density of steel, a property inherent in that type of steel.If you have a type of material and you compress it, you increase its density.If you don't compress it, then two different pieces of the same uniform material, large or small, will have the same density under the same conditions of pressure and temperature. That is what we mean by density is an intrinsic property of a material.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
What is the amount of mass of an object compared to its volume?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is not the same as weight, and cannot be calculated in the same way. To figure out the mass in a given volume, multiple the volume times the density.
Will every object with the same dimensions have the same density?
No. Density is independent of size.
Why does the density of an object stay the same for different amounts of the object?
Because the density of an object does not depend on the amount in an object but the hardness or softness of that object
If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?
No, they will not, unless they are the same material. Every material has a different density, and mass = density x volume
Which has a higher density a 5-g wood block on a 10g wood block of same material?
-5
In order for an object to have neutral buoyancy what would the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid have to be?
They have to be the same.
Density depends on mass?
Density depends on mass and volume of an object.
How can an object with more mass than another be the less dense?
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.
How does density help you identify a material?
Density can be used to identify a material by how much you get as an 'answer'. because if it is the same material then probably the density value will be similar. -By Anna 6-4
