The mass of the sample would be over-estimated, so the quantity (mass)/(volume) would be over-calculated.

If you were to ignore the water in the pan on the scale while measuring the mass of a mineral what would be the effect on your density calulation?

The water would add excess mass to your calculation for density. This would cause the density to be greater than the true density.Density = mass / volumeSo if the mass is greater than the true value and the volume is the same, then the density increases.


An error in which would result in a greater error in the density of the cylinder mass radius or length?

An error in measuring the radius of the cylinder would result in a greater error in the calculation of density compared to an error in measuring the length. This is because density is proportional to the square of the radius in the formula for the volume of a cylinder (V = πr^2h), so any error in radius measurement would have a squared effect on the final density calculation.


What effect does size have on the density of objects made of the same materials?

Size does not have a significant effect on the density of objects made of the same material. Density is an intrinsic property of a substance and is constant regardless of the size or shape of the object. However, larger objects made of the same material will have more mass and volume, but their density remains the same.


What is the name of the effect where light rays are bent as they enter a medium with a different density?

The name of the effect is refraction. It occurs when light rays pass from one medium to another with a different density, causing the rays to change direction.


What is the effect of density on the buoyancy of an object?

The buoyancy of an object is affected by its density relative to the density of the fluid it is immersed in. An object with a higher density than the fluid will sink, while an object with a lower density will float. Increasing the density of an object will decrease its buoyant force and make it more likely to sink.

What effect can a reduction in bone mineral density have on the vertebral column?

People, particularly post menopausal women, suffer from compression fractures in the vertebral column as a result of osteoporsis (a reduction in bone mineral density).


What effect does shape have on the density of objects made of the same materials?

It has no effect. Only mass and volume have an effect on density.

What effect is heating an objects density?

By heating the density is lowered.


What is the effect of decreasing the incubation time on optical density?

The effect of decreasing incubation time on optical density is that optical density decreases. Incubation time and optical density have a proportional relationship.


What is correlation between bone density test and hypoglycemia?

Bone density tests are based on the amount of calcium deposited in the bones. Hypoglycemia is low amounts of blood glucose (sugar) in the blood. They may not be directly related. However, hypoglycemia produces stress hormones including cortisol to increase blood sugar levels. One effect of cortisol is the inhibition of bone formation as well as bone breakdown. If someone had prolonged hypoglycemia for months or years, this could probably effect bone mineral density. This would probably be difficult to measure because diabetics have a lot of other variables which could also affect bone mineral density such as increased levels of inflammation, altered hormone levels, general vitamin and mineral deficiencies, etc.


What is the effect of shape on the density of samples of the same material?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.


What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.


What is the effect of temp on density?
