No. You now have two pieces of the same density. They will half the mass, but the same density. Improved: No, the density is the same even if it's cut in half or how ever many pieces. Think about it this way. There's box A which masses out to about 10 grams. It has a volume of 10 cm^3( for those of you that don't understand the ^ it simply means that the 3 is an exponent) . If you divide it in half what will happen? It's not only the volume that's being cut in half, but also mass. In the equation it states that Density=Mass/Volume. We'll be using this equation to prove that this is correct.
So to find the original density- D= 10g/ 10 cm^3 D=1g/cm^3 (or mL since 1cm^3= 1mL) D= 1g/mL To find the density for the half- D=5g/5cm^3 D=1g/mL As you can see, the density is still the same. DO NOT EVER divide the original density by 2, that's a common mistake people make. I hope this helped you.

Does the density of an object change if the object is cut in half?
No
If you cut an object in half its density?
decreases
What happens to the density of a object if you cut it in half?
The density stays the same. The reason why is because the density of something is mass divided by volume, so if you cut the object in half, it will not change at all. :) ((and yes the other answer was gibberish lol.))
If a given substance is cut into a different shap the object affect its density why?
It acually doesn't affect it's density, only the mass changes.
Does cutting an object in half change the density?
The density of something is the mass divided by the volume, so if you cut the item in half, it will not change the density at all. Instead, the two halves of the item will have the same density.
If aluminum bar is cut in half What is the density of each half compared to the original density of the bar?
It is going to need to be divide by the original density and then after you find that out you get your answer.
If an object is cut in half is the density of each half equal?
Yes, the density of an object has no relation the number of pieces that the object is divided into, nor to the size of the obect. For example: The density of 1 pound of steel is exactly the same as the density of 1 ton of identical steel, and the density of 1 mL of water is exactly the same as the density of one Liter of water. That is the textbook answer, in real life most cutting techniques disturb the boundary of the cut line. So if you want a real to life answer then the density is only changed at the cut line where temperature and pressure will effect the structure of the metal being cut. Textbook answer is density remains unchanged throughout the whole of the material no matter how many times you cut it. think of density as "how hard something is packed together at the molecular level". This is a ok way to look at density. Cheers!
Does density depend on the size of an object?
No. If an object is homogeneous, then you can cut it up into a bazillion smaller pieces, and every piece has the same density as the original object had.
What is section view?
it's a drawing of a piece,cut in half showing you the section of the object, as if you cut the object in half yourself and looked inside it !!
When you cut something in half like a candy bar does the density change?
The density does not change.
When a chocolate bar is cut in half its density?
remains the same
If you cut lemons in half will it affect the voltage?
Perhaps
