What happens to density if the volume remains constant but mass increases?

Density = mass/volume. If you increase the volume but the mass remains the same the denominator will become larger while the numerator reamins the same. This will cause the fraction to become smaller and thus the density will decrease. In short the density will decrease!

∙ 13y agoThe density would go down because density it the ratio of mass over volume.
example: 20 grams/ 100 cm3 has a density of 0.20 grams/cm3
20grams/1000 cm3 has a density of 0.020 grams/cm3

As V the volume is said to be constant then density D is directly proportional to the mass. Hence as there is a change in mass then density also changes accordingly
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoIf the mass increases the volume will acctually be 10% larger then the density and mass. ( mass + density and then 10% of that is the volume.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIf mass increases and volume stays the same density increases.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoDensity increases if mass stays the same and volume decreases.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoTo translate it into everyday terms, you're suggesting a scenario wherein somebody
crams more stuff into the same bag. The result is obviously greater density.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoDensity = mass / volume. Since the volume is in the denominator, more volume means less density, and vice versa.

When air bubbles rises in water its volume increases what happens to its mass and density?
As the air bubble increases in volume, its mass remains constant. Because the mass remains constant but volume increases, density will decrease.
What happens to an objects accelertion if the force on it increases and the mass remains constant?
The acceleration increases in the direction of the force.
What happens to density during thermal contraction?
It increases. The volume of a material decreases in contraction, while the mass remains the same.
What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?
Speed of sound increase when temperature increases.
What happens to density if an objects mass remains constant but its volume is increased?
Nothing. If the volume is increased, the mass also has to increase.
When air bubbles rises in water its volume increases what happens to its mass and density?
As the air bubble increases in volume, its mass remains constant. Because the mass remains constant but volume increases, density will decrease.
What happens to the density as the volume increases?
If volume increases while mass remains the same, the density will decrease.
What happens if mass is decreased and volume remains constant?
The density will decrease
What happens to density if an objects volume remains constant but its volume is decreased?
If an object's volume remains constant but its volume is decreased,its density becomes ambiguous and mutually inconclusive.
What happens when you increase the speed of a wave what happens to the wavelength?
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
What happens to an objects accelertion if the force on it increases and the mass remains constant?
The acceleration increases in the direction of the force.
As the molecular mass of a nonpolar liquids increase the boiling points does what?
If the mass increases with the volume (ie if the density remains the same) then the boiling point remains constant. If the volume remains contstant with rising mass (ie greater density) then the boiling point increases.
If the government increases taxes and everything else remains constant?
If the government increases taxes, and everything else remains constant:
What happens to density if an object mass remains constant but its volume is decreased?
The density becomes lower: Density is defined as mass/volume, and if mass decreases while volume remains the same, the quotient must decrease.
What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?
Voltage remains constant; current increases.
What typically happens to the amount of entropy?
It increases. Once it reaches its maximum value, it remains constant. This is not just "typical", it is unavoidable.
What happens to density during thermal contraction?
It increases. The volume of a material decreases in contraction, while the mass remains the same.
