More mass makes an object more dense only if the size does not change. Then since density is mass per unit volume, if you stuff more mass into the same volume, the density will increase.

Why is a dense object heavy?

In a way that's what dense means. If something is dense then a small volume of it will have lots of mass. Something that has lots of mass will be subject to considerable gravitational force, which is weight.


How much mass an object has for its size?

The mass of an object is determined by the amount of matter it contains. For a given size, the mass can vary depending on the density of the material that makes up the object. More dense materials will have more mass for a given size compared to less dense materials.


When an object is heavier does that mean it 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 contained in a given volume. A heavier object can be less dense if it takes up more volume, or it can be more dense if it is compact and takes up less volume.


Does a small object always have less mass than a larger object?

Not necessarily. The size of an object is not directly proportional to its mass. For example, a small object made of dense material could have more mass than a larger object made of less dense material.


Is an object that is heavier and has less volume more dense than an object that is lighter and has greater volume?

Yes, an object that is heavier and has less volume is more dense than an object that is lighter and has greater volume. Density is determined by the mass of an object divided by its volume, so a smaller volume with higher mass will result in a higher density.

How is the density affected by increasing the mass?

if you increase the mass of an object density is affected because now the object is MORE dense.

What happens if an object is more dense?

Density tells us how much matter is packed into a measured volume. That means:Density=Mass______VolumeSo that means the more dense an object is, the more particles in them are compressed together (heavier).:)


How can you predict if something will sink or float?

An object will sink if it weighs more than the water it pushes away, and an object will float if it weighs less than the water it pushes away. The Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered that the amount of water displaced by an object depends on the mass of that object. Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, and dense objects have more mass than less dense objects. Dense objects that do not displace much water will sink, while less dense objects that displace a lot of water will float.

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.


What is the relationship between mass density and the buoyancy of an object in a fluid?

The relationship between mass density and buoyancy of an object in a fluid is that the buoyant force acting on an object is determined by the difference in density between the object and the fluid it is immersed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.


How does an object's density determine whether the object will sink or float in water?

the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object


How can an object with more mass than another be the less dense?

Density has nothing to do with size. A given material will have the same density regardless of its size. A small object of a material with a high density can weigh as much as or more than a large object of a material with a low density.
