* Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It's calculated by dividing mass by volume:
* Density = Mass / Volume
* Mass: The amount of matter in an object.
* Volume: The amount of space an object occupies.
Here's how changing mass or volume affects density:
* Increasing mass: If you increase the mass of an object while keeping its volume the same, the density will increase.
* Decreasing mass: If you decrease the mass of an object while keeping its volume the same, the density will decrease.
* Increasing volume: If you increase the volume of an object while keeping its mass the same, the density will decrease.
* Decreasing volume: If you decrease the volume of an object while keeping its mass the same, the density will increase.
Example:
Imagine you have a block of wood. If you cut the block in half, you are decreasing its volume. However, the mass of the block is also cut in half. Since both mass and volume are halved, the density remains the same.
