How would you find the density of your body?
i heard that you measure your mass and your volume and there you go! mass divide volume.
How is the density of water calculated?
The density of water is 1. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. For things that have density more than 1, they will sink in water. For things with density less than 1, they will float in water.
What happens to density if the volume remains constant but mass increases?
Density = mass/volume. If you increase the volume but the mass remains the same the denominator will become larger while the numerator reamins the same. This will cause the fraction to become smaller and thus the density will decrease. In short the density will decrease!
Would the 'year' go on the x axis?
Perhaps. The x-axis is where you put the variable that you change. The y-axis is where the second variable which depends upon the first would go. If you are recording a measurement that changes every year (e.g. populations of frogs), the x-axis would be the suitable for the year because that is the variable which changes. The population of the frogs is different depending on the year. If you were measuring the year of birth of a distribution of people, the year would go on the y-axis. The year depends upon which person you choose.
Why do things float?
Because they are less dense than the water. We call the amount of mass in a given volume of space the density. For instance, we could measure the mass of some fresh water in a container. We would then divide the mass of the water by the volume of the container to find the density. However, if we filled the same container with salt water, it would have more mass because the ocean water has the mass of pure water plus the mass of the salt. Since there is more mass in the same volume, ocean water has a greater density then fresh water. For something to float, it must have a density that is less than in what it is floating in. It may seem odd that an enormous ship can float when steel is denser than water. However, if you look at the entire ship you see that there are many places filled with things less dense than water, like air. This means that the density of the entire ship is less dense than that of the water it floats in. To understand why things less dense then water float in water go to the question "Why do some things float but not others?" in the Related Questions section below.An object floats because it is less dense than whatever it is floating in.
Would temperature or mass go on the x axis on a graph?
temperature would because it's controlled

How would you go about figuring out the density?
Density is the mass (weight) of a standard volume. So if you had one litre of air and one litre of lead the lead would have the higher density
What will happen to the density of gas if the mass of gas doubles and the volume of the gas is cut in half?
Density would go up 4 times
What will happen to the density of a gas if the mass of gas double and the volume of the gas is cut in half?
Density would go up 4 times

What is the density of a erasers?
Go take mass / volume.
What happens to density if the volume remains constant but mass increases?
Density = mass/volume. If you increase the volume but the mass remains the same the denominator will become larger while the numerator reamins the same. This will cause the fraction to become smaller and thus the density will decrease. In short the density will decrease!
How do you find the density of a sphere given its mass and radius?
Density = mass/ volume volume= 4/3(pie)(r^3) ***r= radius in meters** so find volume then divide mass by volume and there you go.
Why does the density of group 2 metals increase?
The density of group 2 metals increases as you go up the group. This is because atomic radius decreases as you go up the group. Density is mass / volume and the ratio of mass to volume of atoms of the elements goes up with the decrease in radius.
Does more mass mean more weight?
Only if they are in the same inertial frame of reference. On Earth if a) has a mass of 60kg and b) has a mass of 10kg - then a) would weigh more. If a) was on the Moon and b) stayed on Earth then they would both weigh the same. If b) decided to go to the Sun, then b) would weigh more than a). Mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight is deduced by the amount of "pull" gravity has on you.
If an object has a mass of 5 grams and a volume of 10 cm cubed what is the density of the object i also need to show how i worked it out?
m divided by v equals d where d equals density, v equals volume and m equals mass SO.... 5 divided by 10 would be .5 or 1/2 THERE YOU GO!!! m divided by v equals d where d equals density, v equals volume and m equals mass SO.... 5 divided by 10 would be .5 or 1/2 THERE YOU GO!!!
