Question

section 2 - compare
click the tab on the right hand side and select \same mass\. down below rank the density of the boxes from lowest density to highest density and also fill in the column titled volume.
table 2: lowest to highest density for boxes with same mass

color of box	mass (kg)	volume (l)	density (kg/l)

look at the table above and see if you can see a pattern between the density and the volume. what is the pattern?

for substances of equal mass, the substance with the highest density has a volume that is what?

smaller or bigger

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

The formula for density is $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $
ho$ is density, $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume. When $m$ is constant (same mass for all substances in question), we can analyze the relationship between $
ho$ and $V$.

Step2: Analyze inverse - relationship

From $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, we can rewrite it as $V = \frac{m}{
ho}$ when $m$ is fixed. This shows that density and volume are inversely proportional. That is, as density increases, volume decreases.

Answer:

Smaller
