If mass increases and volume stays the same then density decreases?

No, if mass increases and volume stays the same, the density would actually increase. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so if mass increases while volume remains constant, the density of the object would go up.


What is happening to the substances mass and volume to cause this decrease in density?

As the mass of a substance increases while its volume stays constant, its density will also increase. Conversely, if the mass of the substance stays constant while its volume increases, the density will decrease. This is because density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume.


What is the relationship between volume and density?

The higher the density the lower the volume and vice versa. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Therefore, density is directly proportional to mas of the object and inversely proportional to the volume of the object. Therefore, as volume increases , density decreases and vice versa.


What happens to the density of an object when the volume is decreased?

When the volume of an object is decreased, but the mass remains the same, the density of the object increases. This is because density is defined as mass divided by volume, so when the volume decreases while the mass stays constant, the mass is concentrated into a smaller space, resulting in a higher density.


Do objects with a high density have a small volume for their mass?

No, Density is directly proportional to mass; Density increases as the mass increases, density decreases when mass decreases. Density is inversely proportional to volume; Density decreases when volume increases, density increases when volume decreases.

If mass stays the same and volume decreases what does density do?

Density increases


When mass decreases what does volume do?

Assuming you are talking about the same thing, this can be shown through the density equation: Mass = Density by volume. Assuming density stays the same, if mass decreases, volume should proportionally decrease


Will density decrease or increase if mass stays same but volume increases?

density decreases


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 does a change in mass or volume effect density?

If mass increases while volume stays the same, density increases. If volume increases while mass stays the same, density decreases. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so any change in mass or volume will affect the density of a substance.


If mass decreases does density increase?

No its density decreases assuming volume remains constant. Density is defined as mass / volume, so if mass (the numerator) decreases but volume (the denominator) doesn't change, the quotient will decrease.


If mass increases and volume stays the same then density decreases?

No, if mass increases and volume stays the same, the density would actually increase. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so if mass increases while volume remains constant, the density of the object would go up.


If mass stays the same and density decreases then volume?

Then the density increases. If you have 10 grams of mass for 5 mL of volume, then the density is 2 g/mL If you keep 10 grams of mass but 2mL of volume, then the density is 5 g/mL
