When mass and volume change what happens to the density?
When mass increases and volume stays constant, the density increases. When volume increases and mass stays constant the density decreases. When they both change, then the density will depend on the rate of change of mass and the rate of change of volume.
How do you change density?
To change density there are three ways. You can change the shape, mass or volume of the object
What is the density of a nickel if it were sawed in half?
It is unchanged. The density is the mass divided by the volume, and as both of these numbers are halved the density does not change.
Would the density of a block change if you cut it in half explain your answer mathematical reasoning and the word ratio?
No it will not change. Density is mass divided by volume. Since the ratio of the mass is 1/2 and the volume ratio is 1/2, there is no change. The same holds true no matter how you cut the block, as both mass and volume change proportionally the same.
When can the slope of a graph represent density-?
When the vertical axis represents "number of things" and the horizontal represents "volume of the thing"---slope is change in vertical over change in horizontal, so units of the slope would be "number/volume", which is density.
