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.

What happen to the bulb when it is in series connection?
coldgirl [10]
If the bulb is in series with something else, then . . .

--  The brightness of the bulb depends on the <em>other</em> device in the circuit. 

--  If the other device is designed to use <em>less power</em> than the bulb, then the
other device gets <em>more power</em> than the bulb gets.

--  If the other device is designed to use <em>more power </em>than the bulb, then the
other device gets <em>less power</em> than the bulb gets.

--  If the other device is removed from the circuit, then the bulb doesn't light at all.

This description of the often-screwy behavior of a series circuit may partly explain
why the electric service in your home is not a series circuit.

jek_recluse [69]

The approximate speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second.

<h3>What's the approximate speed of sound?</h3>

If we consider the normal atmosphere at sea level, the speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second. The speed of sound is different in different mediums such as solid and liquid.

So we can conclude that the approximate speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second.
