The density of an object (or the material the object is made of) relates the volume (size) to the mass (weight).
In the SI system this is grams per cubic centimeter and water has a density of 1 (exactly one at 4 degrees centigrade)
Note that kilograms per liter (cubic decimeter) and tons per cubic meter are the same as grams per cubic centimeter.

∙ 14y agoThe weight of an object is the mass times the gravity. In the SI, you would use kilogram for mass, 9.8 meters per second square (or the equivalent 9.8 Newton/kilogram) for the gravity, and the result will be in Newton.
Added: DensityMass divided by its volume is commonly known as density.SI units are kilogram per cubic metre ( kg.m-3 or kg/m3)

∙ 10y agoThe space something takes up is called volume. The amount that the same thing weighs is called a weight.
the measure of how much some thing weighs / how much something takes up is called density.
Thus, Density = Weight / Volume
Also, the units of density are derived from the units of weight and volume.
Thus, if the Weight is Kilo Gram and Volume is Liter, then Density is Kilo Gram /Liter

∙ 11y agoThe mass of an object is equal to the object's density multiplied by the volume (size)
mass (kg) = density (kg/m3) x volume (m3)

If equal forces are applied to a light and a heavy object which one will accelerate more?
the light one
Why does a heavy object fall at the same rate as a light object in a vacuum?
cause the two have lost their weight
Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
Who'll travel faster heavy or light object?
The results will vary, depending on the specific situation.
What stops first a heavy object or a light one?
A light object has less momentum than a heavy object. A light object would stop first.
What heavy object can be put on a light object?
-- A paper weight on a piece of paper. -- A car on an ant

Can you weigh light?
I would say that we can't weight light because whether heavy or light. if we weight any substance,if we pass light on that object the mass of that object will be constant so we cant measure light
Is a igneous rock light or heavy?
inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia
When an object floats does it means it is heavy or light?
No. It means its less dense than water.

Does mass affect static electicity?
Yes, I do think that mass affect static electricity because the bigger the object the more static electricity is needed to support the object against the surface. It also depends on how heavy the object is, heavy or light.
How can you tell whether an object is heavy or light?
lift it onto some weighing scales pick it up
