If a cylinder and a wire are made from the same material, their densities should be the same regardless of their shapes or sizes. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, making it independent of the object's form. The initial assertion that densities could differ due to mass is incorrect. The discussion highlights a common misunderstanding about the relationship between mass, volume, and density. Ultimately, density remains a constant property for materials, unaffected by the object's dimensions.

If the cylinder and wire are made of the same material, then their densities should be the same or different?

I think its different due to the mass of the object

what cylinder? what wire? :confused:

density is mass over volume …

it doesn't depend on shape or size.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
