No, you can compare densities for objects of different sizes. Just divide mass by volume for each object.

How do you calculate density when you have volume and mass?
Density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.
How is volume related to matter?
Matter is the stuff of the universe, and is everything that we can (and can't) see. Mass is the amount of matter in an object (a relation to matter). Volume is how much space the matter takes up (also relating to matter).
What does density measure?
Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume. A denser object (such as iron) will have less volume than an equal mass of some less dense substance (such as water). The SI unit of density is the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m3)
What is the mass per unit volume of an object called?
Density is the amount of mass in a given volume.The symbol most often used for density is p (the lower case Greek letter rho). Mathematically, density is calculated as mass divided by volume (p = m/V).
What is the density of an object that has the mass of 17g and a volume of 3cm cubed?
Since Density is equal to mass divided by Volume... D=M/V Then... The density would equal 5.667 g/cm3
How do you figure out the weight of a rock?
You could weigh it. You can also determine its density by comparing it to an equal volume of water, but first you would have to determine how much water it displaces to determine its volume.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given space?
Density since ρ=m/v or in words; density is equal to the mass divided by the volume. i.e. amount of matter in a given space.
a comparison of density to the density of an equal volume of water?
Density
How do you calculate density when you have volume and mass?
Density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.
Is density equal to volume times mass?
No. Density is mass divided by volume.
What is the formula for mass when you know the volume and the density?
since density equal to mass/volume then mass=density times volume mathematically mass=density *volume
How is volume related to matter?
Matter is the stuff of the universe, and is everything that we can (and can't) see. Mass is the amount of matter in an object (a relation to matter). Volume is how much space the matter takes up (also relating to matter).
What determines the mass of objects that have equal volume?
Density. This is quantified as a mass over a volume, so if you know the volume, the density will allow you to determine the mass of an object. Density equals mass divided by volume so mass is equal to density multiplied by volume.
If the density is .9982 grams per centimeter cubed what is the volume in milliliters per teaspoon?
A teaspoon is a cooking measure for a volume. It is equal to 4.92892159 milliliters or 4.92892159 cubic centimeters. The volume of a teaspoon stays a teaspoon, no matter what the density of its contents.
How you can find density?
Density is equal to mass divided by volume.
How do you find out the Density?
Density is equal to mass divided by volume.
Does density divided by volume equal mass?
No, mass divided by volume equals density.
