It depends on what the question is about? For instance, an ingot of lead is heavy and, unless melted into a liquid state, is unlikely to change in volume or mass. More specific information is needed.

What happens to the density of a fluid if you change its mass but keep the volume constant?

If you change the mass of a fluid while keeping the volume constant, the density of the fluid will change. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if the mass changes but the volume stays the same, the density will increase if the mass increases and decrease if the mass decreases.


How do you change the density of any object?

To change the density of an object, you can either change its mass or volume. Increasing mass while keeping volume constant will increase density, while increasing volume while keeping mass constant will decrease density. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume.


How does a change in mass or volume effect density?

If mass increases while volume stays the same, density increases. If volume increases while mass stays the same, density decreases. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so any change in mass or volume will affect the density of a substance.


How can density be altered?

Density can be altered by changing the mass or volume of an object. Increasing the mass while keeping the volume constant will increase the density, while increasing the volume while keeping the mass constant will decrease the density.


Why does the density of an object have no effect after it is changed?

If you mean why does the density of an object not change when it undergoes a physical change such as a change of shape then the answer is because density is a chemical trait found by dividing the mass by the volume and if you modify the volume then the mass will also be modified for example water has a density of 1 g/cm^3 meaning if you have 3 grams of water it takes up 3 cm^3 even if you change the mass when you change the mass you are also changing the volume same goes if you change the volume you change the mass. In other words mass and volume are relative to each other and when you divide mass by volume you get a number the density the density represents a ratio for water the density is 1 g/cm^3 the ratio of mass to volume is 1:1,1/1, or 1 to 1 meaning for every cm^3 you have of water you will have an equivalent amount of grams. 1 to 1 1 part mass 1 part volume but that is just for water every substance has a density and they rarely if ever are equal.

When mass and volume change what happens to the density?

When mass increases and volume stays constant, the density increases. When volume increases and mass stays constant the density decreases. When they both change, then the density will depend on the rate of change of mass and the rate of change of volume.


Can a increase in density result from an increase in mass and no change in volume?

Yes. Density is mass/volume so if mass increases so does density if volume does not change


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.

Is the density on earth of an object the same on a spaceship?

Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.Yes, density is defined as mass divided by volume, and mass doesn't change when you take something on a spaceship.

When a substance undergoes a phase change it still has a definite A mass B shape C volume D temperature?

C. volume. During a phase change, the substance's volume remains constant even though there may be a change in its mass, shape, or temperature.

What happens to the density as the mass and volume change?

it liquifies.


If matter goes through a chemical change does the volume change?

it can, yes. have you ever heard of putting ivory soap in the microwave? it expands into a big glob. anything that expand or shrinks due to a change in its chemical composure or in its surroundings,changes in volume. though its volume changes its mass will not.
