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.))
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 you cut an object in half its density?
decreases
When you cut something in half like a candy bar does the density change?
The density does not change.
Does the volume of something change if cut in half?
Nothing, the density stays the same.
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!
Would the density of a block change if you cut it in half explain your answer mathematical reasoning and the word ratio?
No it will not change. Density is mass divided by volume. Since the ratio of the mass is 1/2 and the volume ratio is 1/2, there is no change. The same holds true no matter how you cut the block, as both mass and volume change proportionally the same.
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.
When A block of oak wood with a volume of 405 cubic centimeters and a density of 0.67cm is sawed in half the density of the two smaller blocks is now?
it is the same because the molecular structure did not change when you cut the wood in half.
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 a solid block of materials is cut in half what happens to the density?
The density does not change, as density is the amount of material in a given amount of space. But each piece has the same amount of space and material relative to each other.
