Question

In a presentation about measuring mass, one of your classmates states, "Two objects of the same size will always have the same mass.” Is this statement correct? Why or why not?

Answer 1

The statement is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two objects have the same mass, their respective densities determine their volumes. By definition, density = mass/volume or volume = mass/density. Therefore if two objects have the same mass, the mode dense object (with higher density) will occupy less volume than the other object.
