No. To calculate density you divide mass by volume (d = m/V) If you double the size of something (volume), then you are doubling the amount of it (mass). The whole reason for using density to compare things is because it is a property of the substance that does not change, regardless of quantity.

How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?

Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.


What objects gives buoyancy?

Buoyancy is linked to density, density being how much material is packed into an object of a certain size. Objects with less density will generally be buoyant in more dense objects.


What is Density how is Calculated How does density change?

density is how dense an object is (see dense) it is calculated by dividing the mass by volume of an object. density can be changed by changing the size or shape or the object


Does size determine an objects mass?

By size I think you mean the volume. And no, you also need the density of the object. Which tells you how much a given size weighs.


Is it possible to completely neutralize an object?

On a molecular level no, but when it comes to the objects density and original size and shape, yes.


Can a small object have more density than a large object?

Yes. The mass per unit volume defines the (mass) density. Size doesn't change the calculated density.


Is the mass of an object is in proportion to its size?

Only for objects of the same material. Mass of an object is proportionate to its size and density. It is not directly proportional to the size of it.


If you have two objects that are the same size and one of them has a mass of 50 g and the other object has a mass of 10 g which object has the greatest density?

The 50g one does have the greater density. This is because density is defined as mass divided by volume.


Explain why density is a size independent property how does it differ from a size dependent property?

Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes. Size dependent is physical properties that change when the size of an object changes.


What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?

that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.


Object A is half the size of B The density of A when compared to B is?

size does not relate to density


Why does smaller objects have bigger masses than bigger object?

The mass of an object doesn't always depend on its size. It can depend on both size and density. Density is the mass per unit volume of an object, meaning it is how much one unit of an object's volume weighs. What determines that weight is how close together the atoms of that substance is. For example: a metal cube has a higher density than the cork of a bottle; even though they are the same size, their weight is different.
