Is density equal to volume times mass?

No, density is defined as mass per unit volume. Mathematically, density = mass/volume.


Is density mass per unit area?

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, not per unit area. It is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. Mathematically, it is expressed as density = mass/volume.


Weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume?

No. You have defined the "density" of the substance, not its weight.Added:"Density" is also called "specific mass"Weight and mass are commonly speaking the same, but strictly speaking 'mass' is rather an amount of matter,and 'weight' is the measured gravitational force (heaviness, measured on a balance) of that mass.(A mass of 1 kg will 'weight' also 1 kg on earth but does not 'weight' 1 kg on the moon, there it's about 150 g due to lower gravity!)


Distinguish between mass density and weight density?

The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)


Will a substance with a high density be heavy or light?

A substance with high density will be heavy because density is a measure of the mass of the substance per unit volume. High density means there is a greater amount of mass packed into a defined volume, resulting in a heavier weight relative to its size.

Is this true does density is weight per unit volume?

Density can be defined that way, but it is more common to use another kind of density: mass per unit volume.


Is luster defined as the amount of mass per unit volume?

No, the density is defined as the amount of mass per unit volume.


Does mass have volume and weight?

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton. Density is mass/volume.


What is density dependant?

mass density or densityof a material is its mass per unit volume. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume.

Is density mass per unit area?

Why you take the ratio of mass and volume in density?

Because that's how density is defined - mass per unit volume.
