What else can I help you with?
Are specific gravity and density the same thing?
They aren't the same thing, but they can give you the same information. Specific gravity is a substance's mass density divided by the mass density of water. Specific gravity is a sort of normalized mass density. Materials with S.G. higher than one will sink in water. S.G. lower than one will float.
Is density how much something weighs?
Density is a measure of how compact or concentrated the mass of a substance is within a given volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. So while density is related to weight, it is not the same thing.
Is buoyancy the same thing as density?
No, buoyancy and density are not the same thing. Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid, while density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Buoyancy depends on the density of the object compared to the density of the fluid it is in.
How can a small object be densest if it doesn't have the most mass?
Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.Density is not the same as mass. Density is mass divided by volume.
If two objects have the same volume and density do they ave the same mass?
Yes, if two objects have the same volume and density, they will have the same mass. This is because mass is calculated by multiplying density and volume; therefore, having the same density and volume means the objects will have the same mass.
Which term means approximately the same thing as mass?
Density.
Does density of an object depend on the gravity of the object?
Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.
When mass decreases what does volume do?
Assuming you are talking about the same thing, this can be shown through the density equation: Mass = Density by volume. Assuming density stays the same, if mass decreases, volume should proportionally decrease
If 2 things have the same density sre they the same thing?
Not necessarily. Density is mass divided by volume. Many different things could have the same density.
Are specific gravity and density the same thing?
They aren't the same thing, but they can give you the same information. Specific gravity is a substance's mass density divided by the mass density of water. Specific gravity is a sort of normalized mass density. Materials with S.G. higher than one will sink in water. S.G. lower than one will float.
How is density not mass or weight?
Density is defined as the mass of something divided by the volume of the same thing. During a careful reading of the definition, it becomes apparent that density is not mass, and that density is also similarly not weight as well, either.

Yes, if two objects have the same volume and density, they will have the same mass. This is because mass is calculated by multiplying density and volume; therefore, having the same density and volume means the objects will have the same mass.
What is a density of mass?
There is no such thing. There is the density if any object which has both mass and volume. Density is found by dividing mass by voleum.
How does mass affect density if the volumes are the same?
If the mass increases, the density decreases. If the mass decreases, the density decreases.
