β 13y agoThe density stays the same. The reason why is because the density of something is mass divided by volume, so if you cut the object in half, it will not change at all. :) ((and yes the other answer was gibberish lol.))

β 13y agoIf the density of an object is cut in half while its mass remains constant, its volume would double. This means the object would expand or increase in size to occupy a larger space in order to achieve the lower density.
No
decreases
If the density of an object is cut in half, the object's mass remains the same but its volume doubles. This means the object will become larger in size but will still have the same mass.
If a solid block of material is cut in half, its density remains the same. Density is a physical property of a substance and is independent of the shape or size of the object. Therefore, cutting the block in half would not change its density.
The density of something is the mass divided by the volume, so if you cut the item in half, it will not change the density at all. Instead, the two halves of the item will have the same density.
The density of the solid substance remains unchanged when it is cut in half. The mass and volume are both halved, which means the ratio of mass to volume, i.e., density, stays the same.
The density of each half would be the same as the original density of the block. When an object is cut in half, the mass of the object is divided equally among the two halves, while the volume is also divided equally. Since density is calculated as mass divided by volume, and the mass and volume ratio remains the same for each half, the density will be the same.
If you cut a metal in half, each half will have the same density as the original metal, so the density of each half will still be 8.4. The density of a material does not change when you cut it into pieces.
Yes, the density of an object has no relation the number of pieces that the object is divided into, nor to the size of the obect. For example: The density of 1 pound of steel is exactly the same as the density of 1 ton of identical steel, and the density of 1 mL of water is exactly the same as the density of one Liter of water. That is the textbook answer, in real life most cutting techniques disturb the boundary of the cut line. So if you want a real to life answer then the density is only changed at the cut line where temperature and pressure will effect the structure of the metal being cut. Textbook answer is density remains unchanged throughout the whole of the material no matter how many times you cut it. think of density as "how hard something is packed together at the molecular level". This is a ok way to look at density. Cheers!
The density of each half remains the same as the original density of the bar. Cutting the aluminum bar in half does not change the density of the material, as density is an intrinsic property of the material.
No. If an object is homogeneous, then you can cut it up into a bazillion smaller pieces, and every piece has the same density as the original object had.
