Question

Which of the following choices results in a decrease in the overall density of a product? Question 5 options: Increase the volume of the product (and keep the same materiel) Decrease the volume of the product (and keep the same materiel) Increase the weight of the product (and keep the same materiel) Decrease the weight of the product (and keep the same materiel)

Answer 1

Answer:

When the volume of product increases.

When the weight of the product decreases.

Option (a) and (d) are correct.

Explanation:

The overall density of the product can be decreased:

a. Increase the volume of the product (and keep the material same)

d. Decrease the weight of the product ( and keep the same material ).

Density is calculated as the ratio of mass to the volume.  

Density is inversely related to volume and directly related to mass.

So, when the mass of the product is increased then the density will increase keeping the material same. Density will also increase when the volume of the product decreased.

Answer 2

Answer:

- Increase the volume of the product (and keep the same materiel).

- Increase the weight of the product (and keep the same materiel).

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the equation defining the density:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

Whereas $m$ is the mass and $V$ the volume, in order to decrease the density it is necessary to:

- Increase the volume of the product (and keep the same materiel).

- Increase the weight of the product (and keep the same materiel).

Due to the fact that the volume is inversely proportional to the density and the weight is directly proportional to the density.

Best regards.
