Good question. If you spend some time thinking about it, it explains a whole lot about the universe. If you take a cube size 1X1X1 with a volume of 1 (any units) and you double one side. It is now 2X2X2 or 8. So it is 8 times the volume with the same weight, or 1/8 the density. It also has 4X the cross-section, and 6/24 or 1/4 the surface area. All this is just proportional, no units need to be used to understand the realtionships. You can use these ideas to explain most of what's going on in the universe--for example. If a baby has a unit length of 1, she has a surface area of 6 and a volume of 1. Whereas an adult with a unit length of 4 has an area of 4X4X6=96 and a volume of 4X4X4=64. So if we look at heat loss (for example), which is proportional to the surface area of the creature divided by its volume : Adult: Volume/Area 64/96=0.66 (arbitray units of heat loss)
Baby: Volume/Area 1/6=0.16 (arbitrary units of heat loss) So a baby loses heat at 4X the rate of an adult. BUNDLE UP THE BABY!!!
When air is compressed to half its volume, its density doubles. This is because the same mass of air is now occupying half the volume, resulting in a higher concentration of air molecules in that space.
If the density of an object is cut in half, the object's mass remains the same but its volume doubles. This means the object will become larger in size but will still have the same mass.
If the volume of the balloon doubles while the mass of helium remains the same, the density of helium inside the balloon would decrease by half. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if volume doubles and mass stays the same, the density will decrease.
If the mass of a substance is cut in half but the volume remains the same, the density of the substance would also be cut in half. This is because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so reducing the mass will directly affect the density without changing the volume.
If the volume of the helium balloon doubles as it rises, the density of the helium inside it decreases. This is because the same amount of helium gas is now spread out over a larger volume, leading to a lower density.
Density would go up 4 times

When volume doubles density is cut in half. D=M/V D=12/6=2 D=12/12=1
If the volume of the balloon doubles while the mass of helium remains the same, the density of helium inside the balloon would decrease by half. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if volume doubles and mass stays the same, the density will decrease.
The density decreases by half. You find the answer by knowing that density is equal to mass divided by the volume. If the mass stays constants and the volume is doubled, then the density is halved.

If the mass of a substance is cut in half but the volume remains the same, the density of the substance would also be cut in half. This is because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so reducing the mass will directly affect the density without changing the volume.
The volume will be reduced to a half of its original value. If the mass is (approximately) evenly distributed throughout the wooden block then the mass will also reduce to a half of its original value and the density will not change.
