If you have two metal boxes of the same shape and size, they only would have the same density if they were made of the same metal. Density is not related to size and shape, but how much matter is in a given amount of volume.
A gallon of sand would weigh more than a gallon of cereal. This is because the sand is more dense than the cereal. It has more matter (giving it more weight) per gallon.

∙ 14y agoVolume (measured in cubic meters) take up the same amount of space. Two objects with the same mass(measured in grams) essentially weigh the same, though weight is a different concept entirely. While an object free of any gravitational field has no weight (which is the force of gravity on an object), it has the same mass as it does on Earth, or any other planet. Weight is properly expressed in Newtons (N), but Grams are used as a substitute in most of the world, because it is constantly proportional anywhere you go on Earth.

∙ 13y agoApparently they're not exactly the same. You've told us that they have different density.
You probably mean that they have exactly the same dimensions. If so, then they have
exactly the same volume. Their densities are different if they're made of different stuff.
So our answer is: One cube is made of styrofoam, and the other is made of lead.

∙ 9y agoA solid cube is easy. You measure its mass and its volume. The volume of a cube is the length of a side cubed. And then density is the mass divided by the volume.
The question is more difficult for a box where you need to measure the volume of the material that makes up the box. You need to measure the outside dimensions of the box and calculate the volume of the box - INCLUDING the hollow space inside it. Then you measure the inside dimensions and so calculate the volume of the space. The difference between these two is the volume of [the material of] the box. Again, the mass divided by the volume gives the density.

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.
Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?
Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.
Why can two objects with the same mass and volume have the same density?
the volume could be different that could lead to the same density. For example: d=m/v so you would have a mass of 10 for compound A and a mass of 5 for compound B, and the volume of compound A is 2 and the volume of compound B has a volume of 1. Therefore both densities equal 5.
The densities of two objects that have the same volume but how does one feels heavier than the other?
Object A is denser than object B
How do two objects with indentical volumes can have different densities?
Since density=Mass/volume. If 2 solutions have the same volumes, they would have different densities because their masses are different. More explanations. For example same volume of aluminum and iron would have different mass because the atomic mass of aluminum is comparatively less than that of iron. Aluminium has nearly mass 27 amu where as iron has 56 amu. The crystalline structure would bring the atoms with different lattice distances and so the density would differ. Answer Objects of same volume have different density because as Density is equal to mass over volume so according to this relation volume and density are inverseley propotional to each others so when we increase volume density decrease so two solutions can have same volume and 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.
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
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.
What can you tell about two objects that have the same volume but different masses?
the two objects in question have different densities. The denser object has more mass.
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.

Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.

If two objects have the same mass can you assume they have the same volume Explain give example?
Two objects has got same mass means the mass of both the objects is same. It does not comment any thing about the volume of the objects. If the density of the two objects is same, then only their volume will be same. If both the objects are not made up of the same material, they have most likely to have different volume. Rarely it may be same.
Will different volume of the same substance have the same density or different densities?
no
The densities of two objects that have the same volume but how does one feels heavier than the other?
Object A is denser than object B
How do you get two different size objects to be the same weight?
-- form them from substances with different densities Example: a small stone and a large ball of cotton
