No. Density is mass divided by volume.

When an object is heavier does that mean the object is more dense than other objects?

Not necessarily. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting on it, while density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. An object can be heavy without being dense if it has a large volume.


Why will some things float and other things sink?

Whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density and the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink. Objects like wood and ice float because they are less dense than water, while objects like metal sink because they are more dense.


What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?

The buoyancy of an object is determined by its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. Objects that are less dense than the fluid will float, while objects that are more dense will sink. The shape and volume of the object also play a role in determining its buoyancy.


When two objects attract each other the object with less mass will move easily?

In a gravitational interaction between two objects, the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration towards the heavier object. However, both objects will move towards each other due to the mutual gravitational attraction, following Newton's third law of motion.


Why do things bounce back when they collide?

When two objects collide, they bounce back. This is because if the two objects' momentum is the same, they would hit each other at the same force, but one object is probably heavier than the other, so the lighter object would fly back, while the heavier object's momentum would decrease. So both objects would bounce back no matter what.

Does gravity affect an objects with greater mass weight or both?

Gravity effects heavier objects. In other words the heavier the object is, the more gravity effects the object which makes it heavy.


What is the relationship between an objects density and the liquid density and the tendency of an object to float?

A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.

The densities of two objects that have the same volume but how does one feels heavier than the other?

If two objects have the same volume but different densities, the object with the higher density will feel heavier. This is because density represents the amount of mass packed into a given volume; the denser object has more mass in the same volume, therefore it feels heavier when lifted.

How do the velocities of unbalanced weights compared?

When dropped the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it falls. The size and shape may affect the wind resistance which affects falling velocity but heavier objects will not fall faster than lighter objects with all other variables constant.


What objects sink or floats?

An object will float if it is less dense than the water (or other liquid). If it is denser than the water, it sinks.

What is heavier water or pee?

Urine is about 95% water, but it contains urea (which can be harmful to the body) and other dissolved salts and organic compounds. These compounds are heavier than water, and therefore make urine heavier than water.


What does a positive and neutral object do?

A positive object is attracted to negative objects and repelled by other positive objects. A neutral object does not attract or repel other objects based on their charge.
