Best Answer

the equation for density is; p = m/V

so you would need to find the mass of a substance for a certain volume

Why substance are coloured?

The color of an object is determined by its inherent properties and the light source used to illuminate it.Some colors are absorbed, some are reflected and others can pass through (if transparent). Which is which and how much - is determined by its wavelength. The reflected light is what we call the color of the object.


The ratio of the mass of an object to its volume is defined as the object?

Density is the ratio of mass to volume of a substance. d = rho = m / V Density generally depends upon the following : ( 1 ) Identity of the substance ( 2 ) Temperature ( 3 ) Pressure for gases


If the solid is not completely submerged in the water Explain how this technique error affects the reported density of the solid?

You wouldn't get the right reading of volume of the object, so you're density calculation would be off.


Explain why density is a size independent property how does it differ from a size dependent property?

Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes. Size dependent is physical properties that change when the size of an object changes.


What is density of a Liquid?

Density is mass per unit volume ie the mass of an object divided by its volume: density = mass/volume So if the mass is measured in kilograms (kg) amd the volume in cubic metres (m-3) the density is given in units of kg.m-3 It makes no difference to the definition if the object is a solid, liquid or a gas. See http://www.zyra.org.uk/density.htm http://physics.about.com/od/fluidmechanics/f/density.htm

What physical properties are used to calculate the density of an object?

Mass and Volume are physical properties that can bed measured. By themselves, neither can bed used to identify unknown objects or substances. However, if you have measured the mass and the volume of an object, you can calculate its density.


Density of an object is measured in?

The density of an object is measured in kilograms and kilometers.


Density is an example of?

Mass, volume, and density are all example of physical properties. Physical properties are any characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the material.


How is the relative density of an object determined?

Relative density is determined by the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.


How is the density of an object determined?

You find the density of an object by dividing its mass by its volume.


How can you measure a density of a certain object?

density can be measured with the help of hydrometers.


The density of an object is a what?

The density of an object is its mass per unit of volume and is determined by dividing its mass by its volume.


What 2 properties of an object determine its density?

The formula for density is an object's mass, divided by its volume. If you have both those quantities, you can determine the object's density.


What detirmines the weight of an object?

The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.


What factors determine wheter or not an object will float?

Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.


What Properties are needed to measure the density of an object?

Mass to volume.


What unit in density measured in?

Density of an object is measured in g/cm³ or g/cc. The equation is D=M/V, D being the density of the object, M being the mass of the object, and V being the volume of the object. Thanks to en.wikipedia.org. Also when its dealing with a liquid the unit is g/ml
