Density has nothing to do with how heavy an object is. Density is mass divided by volume; if you take (for example) a liter of water, it will have a density of 1 kg/liter; if you take 1000 liters of water, the density will still be 1 kg/liter.

Does density relate to how heavy an object is?

No . Mass


What two factors determine how heavy an object can be to float?

Shape and density


What is Something is heavy for its size?

That means it has a high density. The density is the mass, divided by the volume.


What reflects how heavy something is for it's size?

The density of an object reflects how heavy it is for its size. Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. Objects with higher density are heavier for their size compared to objects with lower density.


What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?

An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.


Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?

No, whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object with a lower density than water will float, while an object with a higher density will sink. The weight alone does not determine if the object will sink or float.


Does an object that's dense heavy for its mass or density?

An object that is dense has a large amount of matter within a given volume, regardless of its mass. Density is a measure of how tightly packed the matter is in an object, not the overall weight. So, an object can be dense but not necessarily heavy for its size.


Why do heavy things float?

Any object will float if it has less density than the liquid.


How heavy is an object relative to its size the ratio of mass to volume?

The mass of an object is equal to the object's density multiplied by the volume (size) mass (kg) = density (kg/m3) x volume (m3)


What is volume weight and density?

volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)


What is the comparison of how heavy something is to the space it takes up?

Density is the word used to describe how much mass an object has per unit volume. How heavy something is (weight), is a function of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. How much space an object takes up is its volume.


Do all heavy objects have high densities?

Not necessarily. Density is determined by the mass of an object relative to its volume. While many heavy objects have high densities, it is possible for a heavy object to have a low density if it is spread out over a large volume.
