How are mass volume and weight the same?
They're not. Weight is the force produced on a mass by gravity. Volume is totally independent.
Does volume stay the same no matter where you are?
No, volume is dependent on things such a temperature and pressure. Most things contract (have a smaller volume) when they are cold and expand (have a larger volume) when they are hot. Also, if you apply pressure to a solid or a gas, you may decrease the volume. This is what happens when you put air in your tires - at some point the tire cannot expand, so you have to use pressure to force more air into the same volume.If you were to dive down to the deepest part of the ocean, the pressure from all that water on top of you would crush you, and your volume would decrease.
What happens to the accelerating force as mass decreases?
Hold on there. Mass doesn't control the force. Force controls the acceleration. As the mass of an object decreases, less force is required to produce the same acceleration. If the accelerating force is gravitational, that force will decrease. If it is not, then the force will not decrease.
How do you find buoyant force and volume immersed?
Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced. Buoyant force = [density of water] x [volume of water displaced] x [gravity]
If the distance between two objects is increase the gravitational force will?
the gravitational force will decrease
What describes a decrease in volume produced by a force?
Compression
What term describes in volume produced by a force?
Compression force
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".

Which word expression describes how to calculate pressure?

The decrease in the volume of an object as it cools is called?
contraction. Compression is often used when an external force is being applied to reduce the volume of the object.
What best describes the molecules of an ideal gas?
no volume, no intermolecular force of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions
Which of the following would increase the pressure of a gas?
Lying on an air mattress
How can you increase the volume of a balloon without increasing the temperature?
Decrease the pressure of the surrounding environment. Thus, the force acting on the balloon from the outside decreases, allowing the air pressure that creates a force inside the balloon to have less of a counteracting force.
What is the theory that describes the relationships of pressure volume temperature velocity frequency and force of collisions among gas molecules?
Kinetic theory of gases
