Two objects have the same volume but different masses. Which object will have a greater density?

• A. The object with the greater mass
• B. The object with the smaller mass
• C. Density cannot be determined without knowing the material
• D. Both objects will have the same density

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula for density, which is given by \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
2. Since both objects have the same volume, the difference in density will depend solely on their masses.
3. Compare the masses of the two objects: the object with the greater mass will have a larger numerator in the density formula.
4. Because the volume is constant, a larger mass means a larger density value.
5. Therefore, the object with the greater mass will have the greater density.
