Size matters All things being equal, size matters. If you have a truck-sized hunk of, say, lead (Pb), it will have more mass than a peanut-sized piece of the same material. But if you have two dissimilar materials, then size can be deceiving. Because materials have different densities, a small object may actually be more massive (that is, it may weigh more) than a much larger object. Shape has nothing to do with mass or weight.

To summarise, Mass = Volume X Density.

How fast does a rock have to go to break a window?

There is no single, simple answer to that. The required speed would also depend on the rock's mass, its shape, and both the thickness and size of the window.

What does inertia varies depend on?

Inertia varies depending on an object's mass. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. The shape and size of an object can also affect its inertia.

What two quantities does rotational inertia depend?

Rotational inertia depends on the mass of the object and how that mass is distributed around the axis of rotation. It is also influenced by the shape and size of the object.


What does density not depend on?

I'm afraid the list of things that "density does not depend on" is very large indeed. You would be better advised to simply consider the factors that density does depend on. These are mass and volume.In other words, density does not depend on anything that is not directly related to either mass or volume.

Are mass and size and color and shape and density the physical properties of matter?

Yes, mass, size, color, shape, and density are all physical properties of matter. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, size refers to the dimensions of an object, color and shape are visual characteristics, and density is the ratio of mass to volume.


The quality of a rock based on size and shape?

The quality of a rock based on size and shape can affect its usefulness for certain purposes. For example, rocks with a uniform size and shape are often preferred for construction materials as they provide stability and consistency in building structures. In geology, the size and shape of rocks can also provide clues about the conditions under which they formed and their geological history.
