Density
Multiple Choice
Two objects have the same volume but different masses. Which object will have a greater density?
A
The object with the greater mass
B
The object with the smaller mass
C
Density cannot be determined without knowing the material
D
Both objects will have the same density
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the formula for density, which is given by \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
Since both objects have the same volume, the difference in density will depend solely on their masses.
Compare the masses of the two objects: the object with the greater mass will have a larger numerator in the density formula.
Because the volume is constant, a larger mass means a larger density value.
Therefore, the object with the greater mass will have the greater density.
