Why does the density stay the same when you cut something in half?

Here are two alternative explanations.
1) Because each piece is made up of the same material as the original piece. Density is a characteristic property of a material.
2) Because density is defined as mass / volume, and if you divide something into two equal pieces, you will get 1/2 the mass for each piece, but also 1/2 the volume.

Will density always stay the same no matter what size the object is?
Density of the substance will always stay the same. Density of the object will also stay the same if solid, no matter the size, but not if it is carved out. That is why a steel boat can float
When you enlarge or reduce a figure what are the features that stay the same?
the angles stay the same but the lenght of the sides change.
What does a scale factor of 1 do?
stay same
How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
What is opposite of moves?
The opposite of moving would be not moving. The best opposite would be "stay put" or the similar concepts stay or remain. Another possible antonym is "stop" because it represents the opposite of something stationary that moves: something moving that becomes stationary.
If aluminum bar is cut in half What is the density of each half compared to the original density of the bar?
It is going to need to be divide by the original density and then after you find that out you get your answer.
When you squish something does the density stay the same?
When you squish something its destiny will or will not change depending on what "something" is.
Will density always stay the same no matter what size the object is?
Density of the substance will always stay the same. Density of the object will also stay the same if solid, no matter the size, but not if it is carved out. That is why a steel boat can float
Does heating leading to expansion of something cause any changes to its mass?
No its mass will stay the same, though its density will change.
What effect does the density of liquid have on the buoyancy of an object?
An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.
If you are on a spaceship would the density of a 7.9 g per square cm have a density of 0 g per square cm?
no, the mass would stay the same and the volume would stay the same so density is also the same
What will happen to the mass volume and density if you chop the wooden block in half?
The volume will be reduced to a half of its original value. If the mass is (approximately) evenly distributed throughout the wooden block then the mass will also reduce to a half of its original value and the density will not change.
When chromosomes divides by mitosis does it stay the same or spilt in half?
split in half
What would happen to density if the amount of sample increased?
It would stay the same
What happens to the level of molecules as water cools?
Nothing they stay the same - their density changes.
When a balloon is filled with air is heated does the density of the air in the balloon stay the same?
No it decreases
Why does the density of an object stay the same for different amounts of the object?
Because the density of an object does not depend on the amount in an object but the hardness or softness of that object
