It doesn't have the same density because the two items can be different masses.

How can two objects of similar shape and size have different densities?
They can have similar shape, similar size and even similar identity (say, wood) and still be of vastly different density. Consider a block of Balsa wood the size of the book "Gone With the Wind". Weigh it. Now consider a block of Sugar Maple or Hickory exactly the same size. Weigh it. It will be muchheavier than the Balsa. The difference is the density.
What is a parallelogram that has the same shape but not the same size?
a parallelogram that has the same shape but not the same size called "similar". This means the angles are equal in both shapes but the sides are different.
Figures that have the same shape but different sizes?
They are 'similar' figures.
What are figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size?
They are said to be similar if they have the same angles but different lengths
What is the definition of similar figures?
Similar figures are polygons with the same shape but a different size. eg: 5cm square compared to a 10cm square = similar figures. Same shape but different size.
Do objects of the same size and shape have the same mass?
No, not unless they are made of the same substance. Different substances have different densities, which means that the same volumes will have different masses.
What are the 3 things same size same shape but different weight?
Anything with varying densities have different weights even though they are the same size and shape. For example, lead, plastic, and wood.
Why do the blocks that are the same size and shape float at different levels?
Because they are of different materials. If the materials are same then there's no way they'd floats at different levels. It is because of the densities of different matters the level of floating is different for them.
Will different volume of the same substance have the same density or different densities?
no
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have different densities.
What doesn't stay the same shape but has low density?
Gases form the shape of their container and have very low densities.
How can the volume of two substances be the same but the mass be different?
They have different densities.
Why can two objects with the same mass have different densities?
Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.
If two solids have the same masses and different volumes do they have different or equal densities?
different equal
Is it possible for two objects to have the same volume and different densities?
Absolutely ! A 1 metre cube of steel, and a 1 metre cube of wood both have the same volume - but are obviously different densities.
How can you have 2 object with different mass but the same volume?
by using matters of different densities.
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
