Part 1: Scale & Measure

Adjust the size of the block. Notice how Volume and Mass change, but Density (ρ) remains constant. Check to see if this happens with other materials using the drop down box.

Volume (L × W × H): 125.0 cm³
Mass (Weight): 337.5 g
Density (Mass / Volume): 2.70 g/cm³

Part 2: The Splitting Paradox

Let's test your understanding of how mass and volume interact.

A hypothetical object has a Mass of 20g and a Volume of 2cm³.

g/cm³

Correct! Now, we take a laser and cut the object perfectly in half.

g
cm³
g/cm³

Correct! We discard the right half, and cut the remaining piece perfectly in half again.
