Is an object that is heavier and has less volume more dense than an object that is lighter and has greater volume?
Yes, an object that is heavier and has less volume is more dense than an object that is lighter and has greater volume. Density is determined by the mass of an object divided by its volume, so a smaller volume with higher mass will result in a higher density.
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)
How can an object with more mass than another be the less dense?
Density has nothing to do with size. A given material will have the same density regardless of its size. A small object of a material with a high density can weigh as much as or more than a large object of a material with a low density.
What determines if an object will sink or float in water?
An object will sink in water if its density is greater than that of water. If the density of the object is less than that of water, it will float. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so objects with more mass in a smaller volume will sink, while objects with less mass spread out over a larger volume will float.
How does density determine if a object will sink or float?
If it is in water, the density for water is 1. If the object is less than 1, it will float. If it is more than more, it will sink. To find the density, you do mass divided by volume.
When an object is heavier does that mean it is more dense than other objects?
Not necessarily. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting on it, while density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. A heavier object can be less dense if it takes up more volume, or it can be more dense if it is compact and takes up less volume.
If you the mass and volume of an object how can you predict whether it will float or sink in water?
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
How does mass and volume determine density?
Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. The more mass an object has in relation to its volume, the higher its density will be. Conversely, if an object has a larger volume relative to its mass, its density will be lower.
What happens to the mass if the volume is tripped?
If the volume is tripled while the mass remains constant, the density of the object will decrease because density is mass divided by volume. This means that the object will become less dense and occupy more space.
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by its density compared to the density of the fluid. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float. Additionally, the shape and volume of the object can also affect its ability to float.
Volume equals density over mass?
No. Volume = Mass / Density Therefore, for the same mass, if the density is higher then the volume is less. This makes perfect sense if you think about it. The atoms of the object are closer together (it is more dense) and so less space (volume) is taken up.
The density of an object depends on what?
mass and velocitythe object's speed and mass
