Does density refer on how hard an object is?

No, density refers to the amount of matter that can fit into a specific volume. It is found by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume.


What does mass and volume have in common?

" An object will stay at rest or in continuous velocity unless an unbalanced force is applied on it." the 1st law of motion & inertia have this in common. An amazing fact "the 1st law of motion is also called the law of inertia". Regards Arjun Mittal


The amount of matter in an object can be measured in?

Matter isn't a term that is clearly defined, however I have found it most commonly used distinctively different than mass by using the assumption that an atom is a quantized form of matter. Ergo, the number of atoms is the amount of matter in an object. The unit for a number of atoms is Moles. A mole is Avagadro's Number of atoms, which is independent of the mass of the matter. Thus, knowing the mass of a discrete number of moles of a particular substance, and knowing the mass of a given sample, you can calculate how much "matter" is actually present in the sample. Also, don't confuse any of this with volume. This was all independent of volume.


How is mass and weight are related?

Mass is essentially a measure of the amount of matter an object contains, but more specifically: It is a measure of an object's resistance to accelerate.Weight is a measure of the amount of force acting on an object, though it is typically associated with gravitational force.The formula, F = M * A (Force = Mass * Acceleration) relates all three quantities.An object contains a certain amount of matter, and the more matter it has, the more difficult it is to accelerate the object. This mass is typically measured in grams or kilograms, and it is found by finding the weight of on an object and dividing it by the acceleration (Usually that is gravitational acceleration).Note that Mass and Weight are NOT the same thing. Weight, in our perspective here on earth, is the acceleration of gravity (9.81 meters per second) times the amount of mass we contain. Therefore, a person with 10 kilograms of mass weighs 98.1 Newtons on earth. If that same person were to be on the moon, their mass would remain the same, as no matter has left them; however, their weight would be smaller because the acceleration of gravity is only 1.62 meters per second on the moon.As an object's mass increases, it's weight increases as well. However, as an object's weight increases, it does not necessarily mean that its mass is increasing as well, for the magnitude of gravity's acceleration may just be getting larger, but the object may not be gaining any more matter.In a nutshell: Weight is the measure of the force on an object depending on the mass of said object and the gravity which acts upon it. Mass is the resistance of an object to accelerate, depending on the amount of matter it contains.

Will the sun become a giant diamond?

No. When the sun dies it will form an object called a white dwarf, made mostly of carbon and oxygen. A white dwarf is made of electron degenerate matter, a state of matter far denser than anything found on Earth.


What is density's property?

Density is a property relating to the mass and volume of a given substance.


A very high energy PHASE of matter not found normally on Earth is called?

A very high energy PHASE of matter not found normally on Earth is called plasma. Plasma is the most abundant form of matter in the Universe because of stars.


What makes heavy mass?

Heavy mass is typically a result of an object having a large amount of matter concentrated in a small area. This can be due to the density of the material, the volume of the object, or a combination of both. Objects with heavy mass tend to have a greater gravitational pull and are often found in astronomical bodies such as stars and planets.


What is he movement of one object around another object is called?

I just found it , its called revolution


What is the matter phase found in stars called?

The matter phase found in stars is called plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, consisting of ionized gas with positively and negatively charged particles that make it highly conductive and responsive to electromagnetic fields.
