nothing changes. in other words it is not becoming heavier but it is also not containing more of the object.

When you heat a cool substance does the mass or volume change?
No, the mass and volume stay the same but the shape changes. Changes in state never change it's mass but if it changes to gas, the volume is unmeasurable.
When you cool something down is the mass or the volume changing?
Cooling something down does not generally change its mass, and may or may not change its volume. Cooling a gas will change the volume (if the pressure remains the same). When you cool something down, you most directly change its heat energy.
The amount of space something occupies is called?
The answer is the VOLUME
What 2 things do you have to measure to find the density of objects?
You need to have the volume and the mass to calculate the density
What changes density?
Shape, mass or volume.
When volume increases does mass increase?
This is not entirely true. The mass will only increase with volume if you are adding more to to increase the volume. However, you can increase the volume without increasing mass. An example of this would be heating something. As you heat things the molecules want to move about more, as this happens they spread further and further apart. This is easiest to observe in when things are in a gaseous state. You can determine how the volume of a gas changes by PV=nRT; where P is pressure, V is volume, n is he number particles, R is constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
How do you find the density of something?
you have to know the mass and volume of the object. density equals the mass divided by the volume. if the mass of something was 5 and the volume 1 the density would be 5
Changing the mass or volume of an object changes what?
weight
If you increase an objects mass but not its volume what changes?
density.
How do you calculate the mass of something using density and volume?
Density = (mass) / (volume) Multiply both sides of the equation by (volume): Mass = (Density) times (volume)
Is the density on earth of an object the same on a spaceship?
Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.
Does matter lose mass when it changes space?
If by space you are referring to volume, then NO. Matter doesn't lose a considerable amount of mass when it changes volume. See: Law of Conservation of Mass. However, if the volume increases and the mass does not the density of the object decreases. Summary: No. It doesn't lose mass. But it does lose density.
