Density = mass / volume, so if you decrease the mass, you'll hve less density.

Is temperature the only thing that affects density?

It is the easiest way to affect the volume which would change the density. However, if you increase the pressure but keep temperature constant the volume will also change. Any change in volume affects density.


If we decrease the amount of force and keep all other factors the same what will happen to the amount of work?

It will decrease in the same proportion.


If mass stays the same and density decreases then volume?

Then the density increases. If you have 10 grams of mass for 5 mL of volume, then the density is 2 g/mL If you keep 10 grams of mass but 2mL of volume, then the density is 5 g/mL


How does density relate to atoms found in an object?

Density is defined by the equation d = m/v, or mass / volume. So yes, they are related, and if one has the volume of an atom and the atomic mass, they can figure out the density. Keep in mind that the vast majority of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, but the majority of the volume is given by the electron cloud (which has negligible mass.)


How does mass and density affect gravity?

Weight and density are two separate characteristics. Density is the mass of material in a volume of material (1 g/cm3) Weight is the force with which a mass is pulled onto the surface of another body. On Earth (for all normal considerations) 1 g (mass) is pulled towards the Earth with a force of 1 g (weight) A given volume of material will weigh more if the density of the material it is composed of is higher. That is, 1m3 of aluminum will weigh less than 1 m3 of steel.

Is the density of an object equal to it's mass per unit volume?

An object's density is inversely proportional to the object's volume. As the volume increases the density decreases, and vice versa.


Why does density stay the same even when the size changes?

Density is equivalent to the mass of a substance divided by the volume. If volume increases and mass stays the same, density will decrease. If mass increases and volume stays the same, density will increase.

What is the density of an object having a mass of 4.0 g and a volume of 39.0 cubic centimeters?

Density is mass in a given volume. Simply divide your mass by your volume. Keep units in mind, as your figures will give g/cm3 which will give you .1025641026


Does water keep its volume?

In general, yes, but lots of things may cause its volume to change. The volume will change if temperature or pressure change, or if something dissolves in the water. Volume may also decrease by evaporation.


How does the mass change when the volume is increased two times?

When volume is increased two times, mass is also doubled. This is because density of a particular material always remains constant, (d=m/v), so to keep density constant, volume increase is balanced by mass increase.


Boyle's law states that if you keep the temperature constant for a fixed amount of gas a decrease in pressure means a increase in the volume of the gas?

yes is your answer


What effects air pressure and density?

Volume and Temperature. Higher temperature increases pressure and decreases density. Lower temperature decreases pressure and increases density. (Except with water, in which case ice is less dense than liquid water. [Keep in mind that vapor is still less dense than liquid and follows the rules.] This is the only exception known to me). Higher volume decreases pressure and increases density. Lower volume increases pressure and decreases density.


How much does 9 cubic centimeters of lead weigh?

Multiply the volume by the density (look up the latter.) Keep units consistent.
