Question

If two items are equal in size, the denser one will

Answer 1

If their volumes are equal, then the denser one has more mass.

Answer 2

always have a greater mass

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an item is given by the following formula:

`\rho=(m)/(V)`

Here, m es the item's mass and V the Item's volume. So, we have:

`\rho_1=(m_1)/(V)\\\rho_2=(m_2)/(V)\\V=(m_1)/(\rho_1)\\V=(m_2)/(\rho_2)\\(m_1)/(\rho_1)=(m_2)/(\rho_2)\\m_1\rho_2=m_2\rho_1\\\rho_1>\rho2 ----- m_1>m_2`

Therefore, if the volume of both items is the same, the denser one will always have a greater mass.
