Why does mass and volume affect density?
The density of a substance is its mass divided by its volume. So for the same volume the higher the mass, the higher the density.
What is the relationship between mass and density when the volume of each liquid is the same?
For two liquids of the same volume, the liquid with a higher density will have greater mass. Similarly, the liquid with a greater mass has a higher density. This is only true for samples of equal volume, however.
Would the density of a block change if you cut it in half explain your answer mathematical reasoning and the word ratio?
No it will not change. Density is mass divided by volume. Since the ratio of the mass is 1/2 and the volume ratio is 1/2, there is no change. The same holds true no matter how you cut the block, as both mass and volume change proportionally 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.
How does the density of a crushed metal can compare to the density of the metal can before it was crushed?
The crushed can will have a density that is quite a bit higher than the density of the can before it was crushed. Imagine a box of empty aluminum beverage cans. It won't weigh much. If those same cans are crushed, they will weigh the same, but take up a lot less space. The density of the cans can be increased by crushing them. The cans might be said to have a low bulk density before being crushed.
When a solid block of materials is cut in half what happens to the density?
The density does not change, as density is the amount of material in a given amount of space. But each piece has the same amount of space and material relative to each other.
If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?
No, they will not, unless they are the same material. Every material has a different density, and mass = density x volume
Will the mass of an object affect it floating in water?
Yes and no. It's the density that influences floating (so the mass per unit volume). If one block of material weights more than the same block of water, the material will sink, otherwise it'll float.
How does density help you identify a material?
Density can be used to identify a material by how much you get as an 'answer'. because if it is the same material then probably the density value will be similar. -By Anna 6-4

Density depends on mass?
Density depends on mass and volume of an object.
What effect does size have on the density of objects made of the same material?
Well if they are made of the same materials then the density should be a constant or "the same."
What is the difference between density and relative density?
Density: the ratio mass/volume for a material, expressed in kg/m3 (SI). Relative density: the ratio between the density of a material and the density of pure water at the same temperature.
Why does mass and volume affect density?
The density of a substance is its mass divided by its volume. So for the same volume the higher the mass, the higher the density.
What is the effect of shape on the density of samples of the same material?
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
Would the density of an ice cube have the same density as an iceberg the size of an entire school?
I would expect it to have more or less the same density, since it is made of the same material.
If a wooden block were cut into eight identical pieces the density of each piece compared to the density of the original block would be?
"Wood" may not be uniform and homogeneous ... there may be knots, voids, rough grain, etc. So it's a poor choice of material to illustrate the important principle here. The principle is: Provided the sample is homogeneous, like plastic or a refined metal, every piece of it, no matter how large or small, has the same density. Density is a property of the substance, without any reference to the shape or size of the sample. If the block is cut into pieces, no matter how many, and no matter whether they're the same size or different sizes, every piece should have the same density as the aggregate block had before it was cut.
