How is mass and volume determined density?
If the object has a regular shape, like a cube or sphere, its volume can be calculated readily from solid geometry. Weight divided by volume gives density. For an irregular shape, one trick for finding volume is to submerge it in a calibrated container of water. The amount of increase in the volume of the water is the volume of the object. * * * * * Mosttly correct but density = mass/volume not weight/volume. Mass is not the same as weight.
Why does a pool of water have the same density as a cup of water?
The density of water remains constant regardless of the volume or shape of the container it is in. This is because the mass of water and its volume stay the same, resulting in the same density for both a pool and a cup of water.
Why does a solid maintain its shape regardless of its container?
A gas is a substance whose molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. As a result, a gas will spread out and take on the shape and volume of whatever container it is in-whether a jar, a room, or the atmosphere! This is very different from a liquid or a solid. The molecules in a liquid do not move as fast as those in a gas. A liquid can take on the shape of its container but will keep the same volume, no matter what container it is in. The molecules in a solid just vibrate in place. That is why a solid will retain both its shape and its volume.
What happens to density of a solid substance when it is cut in half?
The density of the solid substance remains unchanged when it is cut in half. The mass and volume are both halved, which means the ratio of mass to volume, i.e., density, stays the same.
Does the volume of water increase when you add a solid?
Yes, when a solid is added to water, the volume of the water will increase slightly, depending on the volume of the solid. This is because the solid takes up space within the water, causing a small increase in total volume.
What happens to the volume of a solid when it is moved to a larger container?
The volume of the solid remains the same.
What has a definite shape but the same volume in any container?
A solid has a definite shape but the same volume in any container.
Will a container with smaller volume have a larger mass?
Not necessarily. The mass of a container is determined by the material it is made of, not its volume. A larger volume container made of the same material will have a greater mass due to more material being present.
Which state of the three states of matter is the volume most affect?
A solid will remain the same volume and shape A liquid will remain the same volume but change shape to its container A gas will expand its volume to fill its container entirely

What form of matter has no definite shape but has a definite volume?
The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.
What is the difference between solid liquid gases in mass?
Nothing, if it is the same amount of material in all three phases.If however it is the same volume and pressure then solid and liquid phases will have about equal mass but the gas phase will have much less mass.
What is the volume and mass of water?
The volume of water is the same as the mass of water. So if you have 100ml of water you actually have 100g of water.

What has a different shape but the same volume in any container?
A balloon filled with air. The balloon takes on different shapes when placed in various containers, but the amount of air inside remains the same, ensuring the volume stays constant regardless of the shape it takes within the container.
What happens to density of a solid substance when it is cut in half?
The density of the solid substance remains unchanged when it is cut in half. The mass and volume are both halved, which means the ratio of mass to volume, i.e., density, stays the same.
