What has more mass 1 kg of lead or 1 kg of feathers?
Neither!!! They both have the same mass at 1 kg. However, the feathers will occupy a greater volume.
Which has more mass 1 kilogram of feathers or 1 kilogram of bricks?
Neither. They both have the same mass. "kg" is a measurement of mass. If you meant volume (the space taken up by the object), the feathers would have the greater volume.
Why does a kg of sand take up less space then a kg of feathers?
Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
What has more mass 10 kilograms of feathers or 6 kilograms of lead?
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?
Sand. Density is mass / volume. So a higher volume will equal a lower density. Clearly a Kg of feathers will (normally) take up more volume than a Kg of sand therefore the feathers are less dense. You could think of it this way: density is measuring how close together the atoms in a substance are. When the atoms are closer together they take up less volume and the substance is more dense. If you put a Kg of feathers in a box, the feathers would not all join together perfectly meaning that there would be gaps between feathers and therefore the volume taken up by the feathers is greater. You could prove this by trying to push your hand through the feathers. You would be pushing through partly air (which is a mixture of gases and the atoms in a gas are further apart than in a solid) so the task would be easier. It is like comparing pushing your hand through a solid and pushing your hand through solids separated by gas. The latter is easier because there is some "room" for the atoms in the solid to move in to and thus for the feathers to move out of the way of your hand.

Why would 1 kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1 kg of feathers?
Although they both weigh the same, the kg of feathers would be much more unwieldy, due to its volume. If the feathers were being carried in an open container, on a windy day, when you reached your destination, you would most likely have many less feathers than when you started!

Is kilogram g or mg greater?
kg is the greater volume.
Which has greater weight a kilogram of butter of kilogram of lead what is greater density which has greater volume?
They both weigh the same: 1kg = 1kg. The kg of butter has a greater volume and the kg of lead has a higher density.

Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
Why does 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?
lead is much more dense than feathers, so 1 kg of lead occupies much less space (volume) than 1 kg of feathers

Why does a kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight of feathers.
Which is heaviera kg of stones or a kg of feathers?
It's a trick question relying on your preconception that feathers are lighter. They of course weigh the same a kg of versus a kg of. Of course it will take a heck of lot more feathers.
