Question

do you think rocks mass is related to its volume? if so how?

Answer 1

hi there

Answer 2

sup

Answer 3

mass=volume*density

Answer 4

mass=volume density?

Answer 5

want some explanation ?

Answer 6

gimme a sec

Answer 7

Density = mass / volume

Answer 8

Sure i can take an explanation plus i am terrible at science :(

Answer 9

nice , and i was too

Answer 10

i need to write an online essay then copy on paper. *Sigh*

Answer 11

mass = volume * density

For example, the density of water is 1 g / ml.

So 1 liter of water would weigh 1 kilogram.

Other items would have different densities, so a liter of mercury would have a higher density and therefore a higher mass, than water.

Similarly gases have lower densities, so would have a lower mass for the same volume. So a liter of oxygen would weigh less than a liter of water (obviously).

Answer 12

so, it is related to volume since mass=volume * density
and

Answer 13

ok , i think u are not satisfied with that

Answer 14

sorry ;(

Answer 15

i'll give a higher level explanation

Answer 16

oh no this is fine but i need a simpler way to explain this cause my paper and space is only

Answer 17

i'm thinking

Answer 18

ok thx

Answer 19

andi, now i think they are not related at all !!

Answer 20

Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter present in an object. Volume is a measure of how much space it occupies.

Mass can be measured on an instrument called a "balance" -- that is, the object whose mass is sought is placed on one side of a see-saw like device and smaller reference masses (objects) are placed on the other side until the balance swings freely at equilibrium.

The volume of an object can sometimes be determined by measurement if its various dimensions followed by a calculation of its volume based on a suitable formula. For example, a box has a volume that is the product of its length, width, and height, V = L x W x H.

It would be incorrect to assume that any small object is of low mass -- and just as incorrect to assume that any object of large volume is of necessity an object of high mass.

Density, d, is a comparison of an object's mass, m, to its volume ,V, Thus, d = m / V It is in this relationship that mass and volume work together to give on a sense of "how big" something actually is.

As you can see by examining the little formula, objects of high density will have a lot of mass occupying a relatively small volume. As mentioned above, it is incorrect to assume that an object of large volume is necessarily an object of large mass. Put another way, just because an object takes up a lot of space doesn't mean it will have a great mass. And vice versa: An object of small volume can have relatively great mass.

Consider a Ping-Pong ball and a golf ball. Both are of approximately the same volume. However, the golf ball has the greater mass and therefore the greater density.

Consider the box mentioned above: When empty, the box has a small mass compared to its mass when the box is filled with sand -- even though the volume is unchanged.

In simplest terms: Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter present in an object. Volume is a measure of how much space it occupies. As you can see, these terms do not mean the same thing.
