P=m/v density equals mass divided by volume. Objects that are heavy have a lot of mass in a small volume, or a high density. ~ extensive properties depend on how big an object is. Two gallons of milk have twice the volume and twice the mass as. Density is an intensive property one gallon. ~ it does not depend on the system"s extent (size) Two gallons of milk has the same density as one gallon of milk.
