What happens to density if the volume remains constant but mass increases?

Answer 1

Density = mass/volume. If you increase the volume but the mass remains the same the denominator will become larger while the numerator reamins the same. This will cause the fraction to become smaller and thus the density will decrease. In short the density will decrease!

Answer 2

If the volume remains constant but the mass increases, the density of the object will also increase. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so an increase in mass with constant volume will lead to a higher density.

Answer 3

The density would go down because density it the ratio of mass over volume.

example: 20 grams/ 100 cm3 has a density of 0.20 grams/cm3

20grams/1000 cm3 has a density of 0.020 grams/cm3

Answer 4

Recall the formula for density. D = M/V.

As V the volume is said to be constant then density D is directly proportional to the mass. Hence as there is a change in mass then density also changes accordingly

Answer 5

If the mass increases the volume will acctually be 10% larger then the density and mass. ( mass + density and then 10% of that is the volume.

Answer 6

If mass increases and volume stays the same density increases.

Answer 7

Density increases if mass stays the same and volume decreases.

Answer 8

To translate it into everyday terms, you're suggesting a scenario wherein somebody

crams more stuff into the same bag. The result is obviously greater density.

Answer 9

Density = mass / volume. Since the volume is in the denominator, more volume means less density, and vice versa.

Answer 10

It won't... not necessarily. Density is defined as mass divided by volume. If the mass changes, the density will change. But it will only increase if the mass increases.
