How do you get the density when the volume is bigger than the mass?

Answer 1

You can think of the answer to this from your real life experience;

As you know, here on the ground (I'm assuming you're on the ground), anything with mass has weight. Even in outer space, things with more mass take more effort to move around.

You know from experience that a block of metal is more dense than a block of dry wood of the same size, because it's heavier and harder to move around.

So you already know: The density of something is how much mass is crammed into a certain size space (volume). You might say the density is the amount of mass per unit of volume; density = mass / volume

With basic algebra, you then know that mass = density * volume

if you don't know basic algebra:

(density) * volume = (mass / volume) * volume

density * volume = mass * (volume / volume)

density * volume = mass * 1

density * volume = mass

Answer 2

Well, first of all, you can never say that a volume is larger or smaller than a mass.

Volume and mass are different physical quantities, they have different physical

dimensions, described in different units, and can't be compared or converted.

When you talk about comparing a volume to a mass, the only thing you can compare

is the numbers, but you have to remember that neither of them is just a number.

In order to become a volume or a mass, the number needs to have a unit too.

A 'density' is a mass divided by a volume. If the mass number is bigger than the

volume number, then the density number is more than ' 1 ' . If the mass number

is less than the volume number, then the density number is less than ' 1 '.

But it doesn't mean anything. The same substance can give you a density more

than 1 or less than 1. It just depends on the units you use for mass or for volume.

Let's say I have a lump of stuff in my hand. OK ? It doesn't matter what substance it is.

Its mass is 50 grams, and its volume is 80 cubic centimeters. What's the density ?

-- The density is 0.625 grams/cubic centimeter

-- The density is 0.000625 kilogram/cubic centimeter

-- The density is 625 grams/liter

-- The density is 625 kilograms/cubic meter

-- The density is 625,000 grams/cubic meter

Density can be a tiny number, a gigantic number, or in between. It just depends on

the units you use. The actual density doesn't change, and the object doesn't know

that anything is happening, because the mass doesn't change, and the volume doesn't

change. You're just changing the units of measure.

Answer 3

If the volume is larger than the mass, it typically indicates an error in measurement. To calculate density, divide the mass by the volume. Double-check the accuracy of the measurements and ensure that the units of measurement are consistent.

Answer 4

Density is the mass divided by the volume. Density =mass/volume

Answer 5

Mass = density x volume

Answer 6

mass = volume X density
