The density becomes larger because the Mass (in the equation D= M/V) is being divided by a smaller number, which causes the Density to turn out larger.


The density of a substance is not affected by a change in volume.

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.

The density increases. D=mass/volume, dD/dV = -m/V^2 = -D/V.

it reduces

exemple:if you put a glass in the freezer for a day then take it out, water vapor around it shriks.it shrinks so mutch it condeses and becomes liquid

density and volume are inversely proportional so if volume decreases, density decreases. remember p=m/v

The same mass is compressed into a smaller space, so the density increases.
