You have two choices:
-- Somehow increase or decrease its mass without changing its volume.
This is quite difficult.
-- Somehow either expand it into a greater volume or squeeze it into a
smaller one, without changing its mass in either case. This is easy to do
if the object happens to be a sample of a gas.

Which objects can be immersed in mercury or oil?
Only objects with a density greater than density of mercury or oil.
What objects float in water?
objects that are less dense float to the top.
What happens to the density of nearly all objects as they cool down?
Remains constant Although the space it takes up might change
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 term describes the comparison of an objects mass to its volume?
density
How can an objects density change?
It can if more of the substance is added to it.
If an objects volume is unchanged then how will its density change?
It won't change. Density is volume divided by mass, so if volume doesn't change, density doesn't change unless you change the mass of the object.
How does density change with different objects?
The density changes with different objects as all have different mass and volume(the space an object occupies) and the more compressed(Compact) the object is the more density it has.
Why do waves change direction when they are near shore?
The reason they change direction near shore is because the density of objects increase!
Can objects change their density?
Yes! I'm glad you asked! An object can vary with density, but only so. Example: If an objects density is, say, 6.7, it would NOT be able to increase to 9.8. Say you have a gummy bear, and it's density is 1.5. It may very well change to 1.8, or 2.0. But not to 3.0.
Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
How does a change volume affect an objects density when mass stays the same?
With constant mass, a decrease in volume will increase the the density. Conversely, an increase in volume will decrease the density.
What determines an objects density?
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
What determines objects density?
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
Why is volume extensive?
Volume is extensive because it depends on the amount there is unlike an intensive property such as density because and objects density will never change no matter how much there is of it.
As an objects sinks does the buoyant force increase or decrease?
Normally you can assume that the density of the liquid won't change much; nor the density of the sinking object. Therefore, the buyant force won't change significantly.
