If you have two objects that are the same size and one of them has a mass of 50 g and the other object has a mass of 10 g which object has the greatest density?

The 50g one does have the greater density.
This is because density is defined as mass divided by volume.

When an object is heavier does that mean it is more dense than other objects?
No. Density is mass divided by volume.
An object with high volume and low mass has?
1. It has more gravitational force exerted on other objects 2. It holds more energy than smaller objects
Explain what is meant by the term 'mass'?
Mass does not mean density. Density is mass per unit of volume. If, the volume of an object is the unit volume then the measure of its mass and density will be the same.
Why do some objects float when placed in a container filled with a liquid while other sink?
It all depends on the density of the object. If an object was less dense than water, then it will float. If an object is more dense than water, then it will sink.
Why is it inaccurate to say that heavy objects sink and light objects float?
Because it is all about the physical concept of Density . You should say that an object will float if it's Density is lower than the Density of the fluid you choose to put it into . Example. Aluminum will float in Mercury liquid, because it is less dense than Mercury, yet you might refer to Aluminum as a heavy object , depending upon what other substance you are comparing it to.
How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?
Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.
What is the relationship between an objects density and the liquid density and the tendency of an object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
When an object is heavier does that mean it is more dense than other objects?
No. Density is mass divided by volume.
Is there a difference between the density of a square wooden object and the density of a rectanglar wooden object?
A rectangle wooden object is much heavier so it has a low density. The square wooden object is lighter so it has a high densityThe shape has no effect on the density of two objects made of the same material.One has more of the wood than the other.

If an object has a density of less that 1 it will?
It will float in water, and in any other fluid whose density is greater than the object's density.
Would an object that a had a lower density than another item be lighter or heavier than the other item?
given the two objects are of equal volume, the one with a lower density would would weigh less.

the objects with the greatest mass and the ones that are closest to other objects
