How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?

I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Adding more of a substance has no effect on its density.  The formula for density is:

Density = (mass) divided by (volume).

If you doubled the volume of your sample of the substance, then you also doubled the mass of the sample.  So when you divide (mass) by (volume), you still get the same number.  The density doesn't change.

If a car used 260.000 W of power to complete a race in 15 s. how much work did the car do?
marta [7]

Work done by the car is 3900 J

Explanation:

  • Power and work are related by the equation, Power = Work Done/Time
  • Power is the rate at which work is done.
  • Here, the car uses power of 260 W and time taken is 15 s.

Work Done = Power × Time

                   = 260 × 15 = 3900 J

Scorpion4ik [409]
Imagine you were able to throw a ball in a frictionless environment
such as outer space.  Once you let go of the ball, it will travel forever
in a straight line, and at a constant speed.  (At least until it bumps into
something.)

A car accelerates down the road.  The reaction to the tires pushing
on the road is the road pushing on the tires.

Describe the Compton Effect​
Nana76 [90]
<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>

Ground reaction force acting on carter
mezya [45]
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.

I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.
