Density is defined as mass divided by volume. If you take two samples of the same material, and one of the two has twice the volume, then it will also have twice the mass - since it is characteristic for a certain material to have a certain amount of mass per volume (i.e., a certain density). Thus, if you take a liter of water, you'll have a mass of one kilogram; two liters of water will have a mass of two kilograms. Divide twice the mass by twice the volume, and you still get the same result.

Will the density of a material always be the same regardless of its size if so why?

No, the density of a material is not always the same regardless of its size. Density is a property that is determined by dividing mass by volume, so as the size of an object changes, its volume also changes which can affect its density.


Will the density of a material always be the same regardless of it's size?

No, the density of a material remains constant regardless of its size. Density is an intrinsic property of a substance, defined as mass per unit volume. Thus, even if the size of an object changes, its density will remain the same as long as the material composition stays constant.


What is the same regardless of gravity?

It is the "mass" of a body which always remains same, regardless of gravity.


Why is density considered a characteristic property of a substance but mass and voluje are not?

Because -- You can have a large mass of copper or a small mass of copper, so there's no single mass that always goes with copper, or any other substance. -- You can have a large volume of uranium or a small volume of uranium, so there's no single volume that always goes with uranium, or any other substance. But ... -- No matter whether you have a lot of steel, or silver, or aluminum, or just a little bit of steel, or silver, or aluminum, the same substance will always have the same density no matter how much of it you have. The same density always goes with the same substance, regardless of how much mass or how much volume of it there is.


What effect does the shape of an object have upon its density?

when you are comparing 3 objects of the same volume but different masses, which ever one is the heaviest, is the most dense and the lightest is the least dense. This is because Denisty= Mass ÷ Volume and when the volumes are the same, you just need to compare the masses.

Why does density remain the same regardless of sample size unlike mass or volume?

Density is an intensive property - not dependent on the mass.

Is it possible to have diffferent volumes yet same density?

Since Density=Volume/Mass, and the mass increases as the volume increases they will always have the same density no matter how big it is.


Why does a pool of water have the same density as a cup of water?

The density of water remains constant regardless of the volume or shape of the container it is in. This is because the mass of water and its volume stay the same, resulting in the same density for both a pool and a cup of water.

Does a flattened pancake of clay have the same density as the same clay when rolled into a ball?

If it's not cooked it has the same density.


Does the same amount of mass always fit into the same volume?

No. The amount of mass in a given unit of volume is called density. Density varies depending on the substance and its temperature.

yes. the density of a element will not change only the mass and volume will.
