No. Density is measured as mass per unit of volume. Changing the shape will not change the mass or the volume.

Imagine a bag of M&Ms. If you put that bag on a counter, in very simplistic terms, it will have 22 M&Ms per bag. Let's say that is density: 22M&Ms/bag. If you take that bag and fold it in half while keeping it in one piece, it will still have 22 M&Ms per bag, so density remains the same.

Temperature can change volume, as can pressure. The M&M situation falls apart here, but we'll save those for later anyway.

Does the shape of an object change its density?

Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.


Why does changing shape of an object dose not change the density?

Density is a property that depends on the mass and volume of the object, not its shape. Changing the shape of an object does not alter the amount of mass or volume it contains, so the density remains the same.


Is hammering copper metal a physical or chemical change?

It is a physical change because you are changing the shape of the metal.


Does changing the shape or size of an object change its density?

No, changing the shape or size of an object does not change its density. Density is determined by the mass of an object divided by its volume, so as long as the mass and volume remain constant, the density will stay the same.


How can you change the mass of a completely filled solid without changing its volume or shape?

density


How does the density of the metal in a crushed can compare to the density of the metal before the can was crushed?

The density of the metal in a crushed can remains the same as the density of the metal before the can was crushed. The mass of the metal remains constant; only its shape changes when the can is crushed.


Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?

No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.


What is Density how is Calculated How does density change?

density is how dense an object is (see dense) it is calculated by dividing the mass by volume of an object. density can be changed by changing the size or shape or the object


Why does changing the shape of the object have no effect on the density of that object?

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Changing the object's shape does not change the amount of mass in the object or the volume it occupies, so the density remains the same. Density is a property that depends on the mass and volume of an object, regardless of its shape.


Why does changing the the shape of an object have no effect on the density of that object?

1 I'm not sure that this is true-- at least without some qualifications. If an object's shape is changed in such a way that it will enclose one or more pockets of air, some other substance, or even vacuum, the object's over-all density may change. If no pockets are formed, then the density probably is not changed 2 Density is the ratio of mass to volume.


Why does changing the shap of an object have no affect on the density of that object?

Changing the shape of an object does not affect its density because density is determined by the mass and volume of an object, not its shape. As long as the mass and volume of an object remain the same, its density will remain constant regardless of its shape.


Does changing the shape and amount of an object affect its density?

Yes, changing the shape and amount of an object will affect its density. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so varying the shape and amount will alter the mass and volume, ultimately changing the density of the object.
