What is the amount of mass of an object compared to its volume?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is not the same as weight, and cannot be calculated in the same way. To figure out the mass in a given volume, multiple the volume times the density.

∙ 7y agoThe mass of any amount of a solid, liquid, or gas relative to its volume is called its density.
A material's density can be expressed compared to the density of water, which is called its specific gravity.
The comparison is density.

∙ 15y agothe ratio that you described is referred to as density, or MASS/ VOLUME
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe ratio of an object's mass to its volume is the object's density, p.
p = m/v

∙ 14y agomass compared to its volume is density;
Formula: density= mass/volume
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoI believe you are looking for density. Density = Mass/Volume, it is measured in kg/m3, and for obvious reasons it shows how dense the material is.

The difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
What is the term for the amount of substance measured by a laboratory balance?
An object's mass is a measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known masses. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
The amount of mass an object has per its volume is known as .?
Density = Mass/Volume
How do specific volume and density differ?
Mass is the amount of substance an object, Volume is how much space an object displaces (or takes up) in space, and density is how much mass is packed into that volume, also density is how tight atoms are packed together
The amount of space an object occupies?
volumeVolume is the answer you seek.
The difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
Compare and contrast volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and volume is the amount of space an object takes up
How is the mass of an object different from its volume?
Volume is a measurement of the amount of space an object occupies. Volume is calculated by knowing the Height, Width and Length (or similar measurements). Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object. When the object is in the vicinity of another mass, an object that has more mass will weigh more.
Volume density or mass are the same?
'Mass' = the amount of 'stuff' an object is composed of.'Volume' = the amount of space the object occupies.'Density' = (the object's mass) divided by (the object's volume), which is the same asthe amount of 'stuff' contained in each unit of space that the object occupies.
Is it better to use volume or mass?
It depends what you are calculating. Volume is the amount of space on object occupies; mass is the amount of matter in an object.
What word refers to the amount of matter in an object?
Mass refers to the amount of mass in an object.
What is an object's is the amount of mass per a certain unit of volume?
Mass per unit volume is the object's "Density".
What is the amount of matter an object contains?
its mass
What is the meaning of Massed?
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass has weight, volume, takes up space, and is measurable.
What is a measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known mass?
mass
What is the term for the amount of substance measured by a laboratory balance?
An object's mass is a measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known masses. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
Does mass determine whether an object will float or sink?
The density of the object (mass/volume) compared to the density of the liquid.
