Yes, items with the same mass can have different volumes due to differences in their densities. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so two items with the same mass but different densities will have different volumes. For example, a piece of lead and a piece of aluminum can have the same mass but different volumes because lead is denser than aluminum.

TaigaYes, items with the same mass can have different volume. This is because volume is affected by the shape and density of an object, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains. Items with different shapes or densities will occupy different volumes for the same mass.
Yes, this is because different objects have different densities. If something has a low density then you need a lot more of it in order for it to have significant weight, so it will therefore have a higher volume. Inversely, if you have an object with a high density then very little will be necessary for it to have significant weight, so since there is less of it, it will have a lower volume.

How do two objects with indentical volumes can have different densities?
Two objects with identical volumes can have different densities if they have different masses. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, so even if two objects occupy the same amount of space, they can have different densities if their masses are not the same.
Can mass and volume be measured using the same process and instruments?
No. Mass and volume are two completely different properties.
Is it possible for two substances of the same volume to have a different mass but the same density?
No
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
different densities. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so if two solids have the same mass but different volumes, their densities will be different. The solid with the smaller volume will have a higher density, while the solid with the larger volume will have a lower density.
Why can two objects with the same mass and volume have the same density?
Density is a property that represents the compactness of a substance. If two objects have the same mass and volume, it means that they have the same amount of material packed into the same amount of space, resulting in the same density. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so if mass and volume are equal, density will also be equal.
