4. You bought a block of cheddar from the grocery store. If you cut a small piece and a large piece from the same block of cheese, will they have the same density?

Yes, they will have the same density but will just have a different size or mass.

Answer: They will have same density

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.


Density=(mass)/(Volume)

Density is characteristic of a compound and thus remains constant at fixed temperatures.

A small piece would have lesser amount and will occupy a smaller volume. Similarly a larger piece would have larger amount and will occupy a larger volume.

Thus the ratio of mass and volume will remain fixed or constant and the density will be same for smaller and larger piece.
