Answer Increasing the volume of a quantity while keeping its mass fixed decreases its density (mathematically, d = m/v). This can be observed in the transition of water from its liquid stage to its solid stage, or vice versa. As water turns into ice, its volume increases yet its mass is fixed (no additional water is added or lost--assuming the losses from evaporation is negligible); hence its density will decrease. This is why ice cubes float in drinks, or icebergs exist. drugs are bad mmkay!!!!!

∙ 12y agoDensity is mass per unit of volume. The formula is: Density = mass/volume. The greater the mass in relation to volume, the greater the density. The greater the volume in relation to mass, the lower the density.

∙ 13y agoThe density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. In other words density is the ratio of mass to volume. If you have 2 liters of a liquid (volume) and it weighs 22 grams (mass) {I'm just making up numbers here} the density of the liquid would be 11 grams per liter. So since the mass and the volume are what make up the density of an object you could say they could have a big effect on the object's density.

∙ 14y agoTheir effects on density are equal.
Multiplying or dividing either the mass or volume by 2,
both cause the density to be multiplied or divided by 2.

∙ 13y agoDensity = mass / volume. If volume increases, without a change in mass, then the density will decrease.

How does mass volume density and weight compare?
Density = Mass/Volume is a measure of the amount of matter in a unit volume of a substance. Weight is the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
At 4 C the volume of 15 g of water was 15 cm3 At 20 C the volume of the same 15 g of water was 15.03 cm3 What effect did the increase in temperature have on the waters density?
density=mass/volume
What is solution in converting density?
density = mass/volume mass = density x volume volume = mass/density
What is the equation to calculate density?
d=m/v density= mass/ volume
How does mass volume and density work together?
density equals mass/volume, volume equals mass/density, and mass equals density times volume.
What effect does shape have on the density of objects made of the same materials?
It has no effect. Only mass and volume have an effect on density.
What effect does an increase in pressure have on the density of a material?
When pressure increases the volume of the material decreases. Density=mass/volume When volume decreases density increases.(Mass constant)
How can a planet as big as Saturn have a density less than water?
Density is mass divided by volume. Saturn has a big mass AND a big volume. In this case the effect if the big volume is enough to "beat " the effect of the big mass and Saturn's density is less than water.
How does mass volume density and weight compare?
Density = Mass/Volume is a measure of the amount of matter in a unit volume of a substance. Weight is the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
How does cold air effect the density of gas?
'Cold' air will have less volume so the density is greater.
Why does changing the shape of the object have no effect on the density of that object?
It does not matter because the density only matters on the mass and volume.
What is the effect on the density of an object when the mass is dimensionally larger than its volume?
yes
What is the equation for mass volume and density?
Mass = Density x Volume Density = Mass/Volume Volume = Mass/Density
At 4 C the volume of 15 g of water was 15 cm3 At 20 C the volume of the same 15 g of water was 15.03 cm3 What effect did the increase in temperature have on the waters density?
density=mass/volume
Does the mass of an object effect it's density?
Of course yes! Just think of the formula for density! Density=mass/volume! There is a direct relationship between density and mass (directly proportional)!
Volume of air formula?
Volume = mass / Density Mass = Volume * Density Density = Mass / Volume
Distinguish between mass density and weight density?
The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)
