Something that weights a lot change have a small density if it is a big object.

The weight of an object is equal to mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity and m is mass. m = pv, where p is density and v is volume. If the density is small, but the volume is very big, then the mass will be big, causing the weight to be big.

Does the density of an object tell how massive something is?

No. Density says how much it weighs per volume unit, like kilo per liter.An example is that lead has higher density than water (weighs more per liter), but a lot of water still weighs more (is more massive) than a little lead.


What does heavy mean?

"Heavy" typically refers to something that has a lot of weight or mass. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is difficult or emotionally burdensome.


What has a small capacity and large mass?

An object with a high density, such as a lead ball, can have a small capacity (volume) but a large mass. This is because density is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume, so objects with high density have a lot of mass packed into a small space.


Are all things that have a lot of mass very dense?

Not necessarily. Mass and density are related properties, but they are not always correlated. An object can have a lot of mass but be very spread out, leading to a lower overall density. Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume.


What does the word dense mean?

The "density" of something is a measure of how much it weighs (technically, it's mass) per amount of space it takes up (it's volume). The formula for density is Density = mass/volume. So something that is very heavy but doesn't take up much space is considered to have a high density (like lead), but something that is light and takes up a lot of space has a low density (like feathers). So the word "dense" usually refers to things that have a high density. It is also commonly used colloquially to refer to somebody who is maybe a bit slow to understand things (I think it is reference to their skull being dense, thus not allowing much in or out of their brains!). Density = Mass / Volume Plutonium is very dense. Styrofoam isn't. Water has a density of 0. Density is the consitration of matter in an object

High.

High density is a characteristic of which state of matter?

High density is a characteristic of a Gas. When something has a high density it means there is a lot of a certain gas, in one area.

Is it true that the lighter something is that it has less density?

No. Volume must be carefully considered as well before you can, with certainty, so declare. If, however, the volume either remains the same or increases, whicle the mass is reduced, then, and only then, can you declare density has decreased.


Why cm cubed does not have a relationship with grams?

depends on the density of the material. One CM3 of water weighs 1gm at normal temperature and pressure. One cm3 of mercury would weigh a LOT more.


What does 'no small oats' mean?

I think you mean "no small potatoes" or "no small feat" - in slang "oats" refers to feeling young, frisky, and reckless. "No small potatoes" is money slang, meaning something costs a lot. "No small feat" means that something is a big feat, or a big accomplishment.
