you have a ball of steel and a ball of iron both of the same volume. The ball of of steel has a larger mass. Is it denser, less dense, or does it have the same density as the ball of iron. Explain.

density is mass per unit volume

if the volume of steel is the same and the mass more then the density of the steel is more. (strange by the way)

I gave you the mechanism to answer this question in an earlier post but you had to figure it out. You need to learn to think instead of waiting for someone to give you the answer.

To determine which ball, steel or iron, is denser, we need to compare the mass and volume of each ball.

Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. The density equation is as follows:

Density = Mass / Volume

Given that both balls have the same volume, we can simplify our comparison to just the mass.

If the ball of steel has a larger mass, it means that more steel is packed into the same volume compared to the ball of iron. Thus, the ball of steel is denser than the ball of iron.

Therefore, the ball of steel is denser than the ball of iron.
