Why is density important when determining what the object is made from?

Because if u know the denstiy you know what the components of the material is. By knowing that you would know the mass and volume.

Does density depend on size?
Density of an object is defined as mass per volume (volume the mass occupies which is related to the size of the object). So if mass is considered constant then density is inversely proportional to the volume of the object. That is density is proportional to 1/volume.
Which will float on a fluid that has a density of 2 grams cm and Acirc and sup3?
Any object which, if submerged, would displace 2 times its own volume. The density of the object could be well above 2 gms/cm^3. If that were not the case, then ships made of metal would never float in water. which has a much lower density.
What is true of the mass and volume of the floating object?
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
Definion for desinty for a child to understand...?
The heaviness of each particle. For example, a rock is made of heavier particles than a piece of cloth so if you were to get the same quantity of each item and drop it, than the rock would hit the ground first since it is more dense. An improved version: Density is a measurement that describes how heavy an object is for a given volume. For example: an object has high density if it is heavy and has a small volume (e.g. gold), and an object has low density if it is light and has a large volume (e.g. balloon).
What household object is neutrally buoyant?
To be neutrally boyant in water, the object needs to have the same overall density as the water, 1 g/cc. This means that the objects material will have to be a similar density to water, or it would have to be made up of different materials which may be dense or less dense, but have an total overall density that's equivilant to water. Some spoons and plastic utensils could be very close, but you could always consider a full can of beer or plastic bottle of juice - where the fluid inside has a similar density to water, while the air trapped inside may just counteract the higher density material that the vessel is made from.
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 are the important of determining density and frequency of species?
To enable you to monitor changes and thus be made aware of activities which may be causing possible extinctions etc.
Density of object made of 2 different meterials?
Still the object's mass divided by the object's volume.The density of the composite object will be somewhere between the densitiesof the two different materials.
What will happen to a solid object made from water with great density than water when it is dropped into water?
It will depend on the shape of the object. The density of the object does not matter, what matters is the mass of the volume of water that it will displace.
What does a triangle with the number 2 mean in the middle?
If the triangle is made up of three bent arrows, then it is a recycling symbol which means that the object is made of HDPE: high density polyethylene.If the triangle is made up of three bent arrows, then it is a recycling symbol which means that the object is made of HDPE: high density polyethylene.If the triangle is made up of three bent arrows, then it is a recycling symbol which means that the object is made of HDPE: high density polyethylene.If the triangle is made up of three bent arrows, then it is a recycling symbol which means that the object is made of HDPE: high density polyethylene.
What mistake did Andrew make in calculating density?
Andrew made a mistake in calculating density by not properly measuring the volume of the object. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume, and if the volume is incorrect, it will lead to an inaccurate density value.
Is the density of an object bigger in one piece or two?
The answer to that question is: No. The density of an object only depends on the substance its made of. If two samples are made of the same substance, then it doesn't matter if one is the size of a grain of sand and the other is the size of a battleship ... they have the same density.
How will knowing the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will slow in water?
I am assuming that you mean float (or sink) rather than "slow". Knowledge of density will not help - unless the object is compact. The density of iron is greater than that of water but ships made of iron will float.
Is there a difference between the density of a square wooden object and the density of a rectanglar wooden object?
A rectangle wooden object is much heavier so it has a low density. The square wooden object is lighter so it has a high densityThe shape has no effect on the density of two objects made of the same material.One has more of the wood than the other.
Will an object with a mass of 0.33N float?
I will assume that you are asking if it will float in water. That depends on the shape of the object and it's density, or you could say it depends on the effective density of the object where that takes into account any voids inside the object. If the material the object is made of is less dense than water, then the object will float. If the material the object is made of is denser than water and there are no internal voids, then it won't float. If the material the object is made of is denser than water but the object has sufficient internal voids so that its effective density is less than that of water, then it will float.
Does density depend on size?
Density of an object is defined as mass per volume (volume the mass occupies which is related to the size of the object). So if mass is considered constant then density is inversely proportional to the volume of the object. That is density is proportional to 1/volume.
Which has the greatest density a small piece of aluminum or a large piece of aluminum?
density has nothing to do with the size of an object in the way that you are thinking, density is the mass or weight of an object per unit of measurement Neither
