What is a main importance of density as a physical property?

Whether a substance will float or sink in another substance.


Is density a property of an object or a property of the substance the object or a property of the substance the object is made of?

Density (or more properly Relative Density) is an elemental property. An object made from one or more elements will have a density related to the density of the elements.


What property of matter is density?

Density depends on temperature, pressure and purity of a material.


What is density and how is it calculated?

Density is a very important property which can be used to identify a substance. We can calculate Density by dividing mass by volume.Density is the measure of how compact something is. To calculate density, take the mass of the substance, and divide it by the volume of the substance.


Compare general properties of matter from specific properties of matter?

A 'specific' property is a property that depends on or is calculated based on another measurable property. You give an example of density; density is considered 'specific' because it can be calculated from volume and mass. Some other good examples are: - specific gravity - the density of a material relative to the density of water (volume and mass of the object, known density of water) WHILE There are four different properties of matter. They are weight, volume, mass, and density. The most important one is mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and it never changes unless matter is taken out of the object.olume is another general property of matter. Density is very important because it enables you to compare different objects.weight is the force on the object due to gravity.
