It depends on what you are measuring, and the accuracy desired.

The volume of substances, and even the capacity of your measuring equipment will change due to thermal expansion.

The mass of the substance doesn't change with temperature.

What happens to the magnitude of mass density as the volume of an object becomes greater than its mass?

If the volume of an object becomes greater than its mass, the mass density will decrease. Mass density is defined as mass per unit volume, so if the mass stays the same but volume increases, the density will decrease because there is more volume to spread out the mass.


How do you calculate density when the volume is higher than the mass?

It makes no difference. Density = mass / volume. You divide the mass by the volume. If the volume is greater than the mass your answer will necessarilybe less than one, but that is still the correct answer showing the density in terms of the units used.


How is mass per volume different than volume per mass?

One is the reciprocal of the other. It is more common to use "mass per volume", but in theory you could use either. If object "A" has more mass per volume than object "B", then object "B" will have more volume per mass than object "A".


Is copper has more volume than the iron?

No, copper does not have more volume than iron for the same weight or mass. Copper is denser than iron, so a given mass of copper will have a smaller volume than the same mass of iron.


What is ture about mass and volume for all floating objects?

The mass is always less than the volume


Do all solids have less volume than same mass of liquid?

No, not all solids necessarily have less volume than the same mass of liquid. The relationship between volume and mass depends on the density of the substance. Some solids may be more dense than liquids, resulting in a smaller volume for the same mass.


How is the volume of an object represented differently than the mass of an object?

Because volume is the ratio mass/density.


If a blocks mass is bigger than its volume what happens to the block and why?

If a block's mass is bigger than its volume, it means the block is denser. This could indicate that the material is very compact and tightly packed. The density of an object is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume, so if the mass is greater than the volume, the density will be high.


When mass nd volune increases does destity stay the same?

No, density changes when both mass and volume increase. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so if both mass and volume increase proportionally, the density will remain the same. If mass increases more than volume, or volume decreases more than mass, density will increase.


Why is steel denser then iron?

Density is mass divided by volume. If we assume the mass of the iron and the cotton is the same, you will find that the iron will occupy less space (less volume) than that of the cotton. The value of a mass divided by a small volume is higher than the value of the same mass divided by a larger volume. If we assume the volume of both the iron and the cotton is the same, you will also find that the mass of the iron will be higher than the mass of the cotton. The value of a large mass divided by a volume is larger than the value of a small mass divided by the same volume. In both assumptions, the value of mass divided by volume for the iron is higher than the value of mass divided by volume for the cotton. Since density is mass divided by volume, the density of iron is therefore higher than the density of cotton.


Does a smashed can have a different mass than a full can?

No. An object's mass is not altered by its volume.
