Will a rock with a heavier mass be the densest?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Density is an inherent property of a given material and does not depend on mass. An object with a low density but a large volume can have more mass than a smaller volume of something denser. If you have a 1 gram pebble of basalt and a 1 tonne boulder of granite, the basalt pebble will still be denser.

That said, if two rocks have the same volume, the one with the greatest mass will be the densest.

Answer 2

yes and no if dropped from a certain height both rocks will accelerate at the same rate 9.81 m/s/s eventually the rock with the least amount of surface area and smallest mass will reach it's terminal velocity first and will stop accelerating there are so many variables involved such as drag, mass, height of fall, ect you will have to do the math to figure which one will hit the ground first

Answer 3

It depends on the rock and the metal, and whether that metal is a metal alloy or not

Answer 4

There is no connection between color and density.

Answer 5

Not necessarily. Density is determined by mass divided by volume. So a rock with higher mass but also larger volume could have lower density than a rock with lower mass but smaller volume.

Answer 6

Iron is denser Iron is denser

Answer 7

Granite
