The density of something is the mass divided by the volume, so if you cut the item in half, it will not change the density at all. Instead, the two halves of the item will have the same density.

∙ 13y agoConsider what density is. Does it change when you cut the object in half? The object in question will weigh half as much as long as density is uniform. (that is the only hint you should need, if you don't understand go back and do your own homework) If you can't answer this question then some reading wouldn't hurt you. It will only make you less dense!

∙ 11y agoIt depends if you count each half then no. But if you count the whole thing cut in half yes it does change the density.

∙ 14y agono the density will be the same

How does a change in mass affect the movement of an object?
A change in mass would also change the level of density. If the level of mass in an object went down, it would make the object less dense. Anything that is less dense can move faster. Example: Think of someone cutting a pizza in half and keeping one half of it. A half pizza's mass is less than a whole pizza. You can move a half of a pizza easier than you can move a whole pizza, which is how it affects the movement.
What effect does the density of liquid have on the buoyancy of an object?
An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.
What could causes only a physical change in a hamburger patty?
Freezing it should only be a physical (not chemical) change. cutting it in half
When a solid block of materials is cut in half what happens to the density?
The density does not change, as density is the amount of material in a given amount of space. But each piece has the same amount of space and material relative to each other.
When a helium balloon rises in the air it expands. If the volume of the balloon doubles what happens to the density of the helium inside it?
The density will be 50 % from the initial value.
Does the density of an object change if the object is cut in half?
No
What happens to the density of a object if you cut it in half?
The density stays the same. The reason why is because the density of something is mass divided by volume, so if you cut the object in half, it will not change at all. :) ((and yes the other answer was gibberish lol.))

Would the density of a block change if you cut it in half explain your answer mathematical reasoning and the word ratio?
No it will not change. Density is mass divided by volume. Since the ratio of the mass is 1/2 and the volume ratio is 1/2, there is no change. The same holds true no matter how you cut the block, as both mass and volume change proportionally the same.
If you cut an object in half its density?
decreases
Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?
size does not relate to density
When you cut something in half like a candy bar does the density change?
The density does not change.
How does the density of one object compare to half of the same object?
It's identical. (assuming that the object is homogeneous)
What happens to the density of an object when you break it in half?
Assuming the object is the same straight through - nothing.
Cutting a pipe in half is a chemical change or physical change?
yes
If an object is cut in half is the density of each half equal?
Yes, the density of an object has no relation the number of pieces that the object is divided into, nor to the size of the obect. For example: The density of 1 pound of steel is exactly the same as the density of 1 ton of identical steel, and the density of 1 mL of water is exactly the same as the density of one Liter of water. That is the textbook answer, in real life most cutting techniques disturb the boundary of the cut line. So if you want a real to life answer then the density is only changed at the cut line where temperature and pressure will effect the structure of the metal being cut. Textbook answer is density remains unchanged throughout the whole of the material no matter how many times you cut it. think of density as "how hard something is packed together at the molecular level". This is a ok way to look at density. Cheers!
