The mass of the sample would be over-estimated, so the quantity (mass)/(volume) would be over-calculated.

If you were to ignore the water in the pan on the scale while measuring the mass of a mineral what would be the effect on your density calulation?

The water would add excess mass to your calculation for density. This would cause the density to be greater than the true density.Density = mass / volumeSo if the mass is greater than the true value and the volume is the same, then the density increases.


What effect can a reduction in bone mineral density have on the vertebral column?

People, particularly post menopausal women, suffer from compression fractures in the vertebral column as a result of osteoporsis (a reduction in bone mineral density).

It has no effect. Only mass and volume have an effect on density.

What effect is heating an objects density?

By heating the density is lowered.


What is the effect of decreasing the incubation time on optical density?

The effect of decreasing incubation time on optical density is that optical density decreases. Incubation time and optical density have a proportional relationship.


How scientists estimate the mass and size of the Earth?

The size of Earth can be accurately estimated by satellite measuring devices and simple geometry. The density of Earth can be derived by the effect of its gravitation on other nearby planetary bodies.


What is correlation between bone density test and hypoglycemia?

Bone density tests are based on the amount of calcium deposited in the bones. Hypoglycemia is low amounts of blood glucose (sugar) in the blood. They may not be directly related. However, hypoglycemia produces stress hormones including cortisol to increase blood sugar levels. One effect of cortisol is the inhibition of bone formation as well as bone breakdown. If someone had prolonged hypoglycemia for months or years, this could probably effect bone mineral density. This would probably be difficult to measure because diabetics have a lot of other variables which could also affect bone mineral density such as increased levels of inflammation, altered hormone levels, general vitamin and mineral deficiencies, etc.


What is the effect of temp on density?

An increase in temperature results in a decrease in density.
