Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)

Why are some objects more dense than other objects?
Some objects are more dense than others due either to the mass of the particles in the material, the atomic number or how closely the particles are packed together. For example, lead, has a high density because its particles have a very high mass. But a material like polystyrene, doesn't have a high density as the particles are spaced far apart and they have a low mass value.
If you have two equally sized objects how could you tell which one is more dense?
Compare their weights on scale's have to select scales depending on the size of the objects to find a objects density divide the objects mass by its volume.
20 kilos flour to litres?
There can be no conversion.A kilogram is a measure of mass. A litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion. Flours from different grains have different densities.
What is inside of all objects that have mass and volume?
All matter is formed from atoms.
If an objects volume is unchanged then how will its density change?
It won't change. Density is volume divided by mass, so if volume doesn't change, density doesn't change unless you change the mass of the object.
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
When the volume is constant how do the masses of 2 objects differ?
When volume is constant, the masses of two objects are in direct proportion to their densities.
What can you tell about two objects that have the same volume but different masses?
the two objects in question have different densities. The denser object has more mass.
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have different densities.
Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?
Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.
What term describes the amount of matter per unit volume that a substance occupies?
Volume mass area Latest correction: Of these, only volume is correct. Area is not space, and mass has nothing to do with occupied space. Two objects of different volume can have identical masses, and two objects of different mass can have the same volume. The only true statement that can be made between the two is that all objects with a measurable bounded volume have mass. That is why the only possible answer is Volume
How Mass and volume can affect the density of the volume?
The definition of density is mass per unit volume. For any object or sample of a substance, it can be calculated as (mass) divided by (volume). If two objects or samples with the same volume have different masses, the one with the greater mass has greater density. If two objects or samples with the same mass have different volumes, the one with the greater volume has smaller density.
What effect does the shape of an object have upon its density?
when you are comparing 3 objects of the same volume but different masses, which ever one is the heaviest, is the most dense and the lightest is the least dense. This is because Denisty= Mass ÷ Volume and when the volumes are the same, you just need to compare the masses.
Is it possible for two objects to have the same volume and different densities?
Absolutely ! A 1 metre cube of steel, and a 1 metre cube of wood both have the same volume - but are obviously different densities.
How do two objects with indentical volumes can have different densities?
Since density=Mass/volume. If 2 solutions have the same volumes, they would have different densities because their masses are different. More explanations. For example same volume of aluminum and iron would have different mass because the atomic mass of aluminum is comparatively less than that of iron. Aluminium has nearly mass 27 amu where as iron has 56 amu. The crystalline structure would bring the atoms with different lattice distances and so the density would differ. Answer Objects of same volume have different density because as Density is equal to mass over volume so according to this relation volume and density are inverseley propotional to each others so when we increase volume density decrease so two solutions can have same volume and different densities.

If you have 2 objects with the same volume do they have the same mass?
No, this is actually very unlikely. An object made of balsa wood and an object made of steel, even if they have identical volumes will have very different masses!
How can a gallon of milk can have different density than a gallon of water even though it has the same volume?
Though they have same volume,they have different masses.
