What is more dense 1 kg of iron or 1 kg of feathers?

they are the same... they are both 1kg


Is 1 kilogram of gold heavier then 1 kilogram of feathers?

Kilograms are a measure of mass so if it's both 1kg then it's the same.


Which has more mass 1kg or 1 mg?

There are 1 million mg in 1 kg, so the kg apparently seems to have more mass.


Would a kilogram of a feather have more mass than a kilogram of iron?

Since kilograms are the unit we use to measure mass, the answer is no: both have 1kg. of mass. :D


Which is heavier 1kg of stone or 1kg of feathers?

It's a trick question, but with a not-so-trick answer:The expected "correct" answer, is that since both "weigh" 1kg, they both have the same weight, and so neither one is heavier.The CORRECT answer actually depends on a few more details, which will be explained in steps as follows:1) The kg is a unit of mass, whilst weight, in the correct meaning of the word, is a measurement of forcemeasured in Newtons.2) Force = mass x acceleration-> Weight = mass x acceleration-due-to-gravity (g = 9.81 m/s2)So up until now, we could argue that the stones and the feathers each have a weight of approx. 9.81 Newtons. However, so far we've only calculated the downward force on the two objects due to gravity.Assuming that we're measuring the weight of these two objects somewhere on Earth, we must also consider the effects of the Earth's atmosphere, specifically the upward force this causes. Since air is a fluid, we must consider the effects of upthrust on these two objects:3) Upthrust = weight-of-displaced-fluidNow this is where things start to get interesting! Since we can safely assume that stone is more dense than feathers, then for the two objects to have the same mass of 1kg, the volume of the feathers must be greater than the volume the stone. Therefore, they will displace more of the fluid (air):4) Stone-upthrust < Feathers-upthrustSo, getting back to weight:5) Weight = downforce-due-to-gravity - upthrust-from-fluidSo, since the downforce due to gravity is equal in both instances, BUT the feathers produce more upthrust, the weight of the stone is, in fact, greater than the weight of the feathers.Therefore, if they are both measured at the same location on Earth, 1kg of stone will be heavier than 1kg of feathers.(Just don't tell your school Physics teacher this, unless you want him to think you're a smart-ass :-)

Which is easier to lift 1 kilogram of steel or 1 kilogram of feather?

Because they have the same mass, the same force would be required to lift both 1kg of steel and 1kg of feathers. The "ease" of lifting the two masses would be equal.


Why would 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?

Because it would be a lot smaller.and also feathers weigh les so that would be more feathers you would have to carry.; )


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

Is a mass of an apple less than 1kg?

yes. a mass of 1 kg weighs 2.2 pounds on Earth.


Is 1kg of rocks heavier or 1kg of feathers?

Since they both have a weight of 1kg one cannot be heavier than the other.

Is 1kg feathers equal to 1kg stones?

Yes. Since they both have a weight of 1kg one cannot be heavier than the other.


Which weighs more a kilogram of feathers or 2.3 pounds of lead?

A kilogram of feathers is 1kg 2.3 pounds of lead is 1.04326245 kilograms Using Newton's First Law We have that Fnet = ma This meaning that the net force of the 2 items is due to the product of the objects mass and the acceleration which acts upon it. The result is measured in Newtons. The acceleration in this case is gravity which is 9.8 m/s2 average here in the earth, this value changes due to the position the object is in the earth, the closer you are to the equator the closer you are to 9.8 m/s2. Now We have that 1kg of feathers weights = (1kg) * (9.8m/s2) = 9.8 N 1.04326245 kg of lead weights = (1.04326245kg) * (9.8m/s2) = 10.22397201 N Now we can conclude that 2.3 lbs of lead weight more than 1kg of feathers.


Why would 1kg of lead be less akward to carry around than 1kg of. feathers?

Because it is smaller in volume.


Which has more mass 1kg or 1 mg?

There are 1 million mg in 1 kg, so the kg apparently seems to have more mass.
