NO
Which is heavier in mass 1000 kg of feathers or 1000 kg of rocks?

How do you figure out how many pounds are in a bushel?
Refer to a matter density table or fill a bushel container & then weigh it.===Weight versus volumeA recurring problem -- an incessant, nagging, chronic one -- is the confusion people have with weight and volume. They are NOT the same. Weight is an indirect measure of mass, whereas volume is an direct measure of space. Think of it this way: a pound of feathers and a pound of rocks have the same weight (which means they have the same mass, since weight is a function of mass, and they therefore represent the same amount of matter -- stuff!) But they do not occupy the same volume. Clearly, a pound of feathers will take up way more space than a pound of rocks.Or think of it THIS way: If you have a shoe box filled with feathers and an identical shoe box filled with rocks, which will weigh more? Clearly, the box of rocks. Both the feathers and the rocks occupy the same volume -- a shoe box -- but the box of rocks has greater mass and, hence, greater weight.Which brings us -- tada! -- to a bushel. A bushel is a unit of volume, just like a shoe box is. If you have a bushel of feathers, it will weigh less than a bushel of rocks -- or a bushel of corn, or a bushel of buckwheat, or a bushel of apples. In other words, you are going to have to find a table that shows how much a bushel of whatever it is you have weighs, because a bushel of each substance will weigh something different.
What weighs more 1000 feathers or 1000 pebbles?
Pebbles are heavier because they're rocks. Feathers are lightweight and fur.

What weighs more a bag of gold or a bag of feathers?
"Depends on how much gold and how many feathers you have. " I believe the riddle is usually "which weighs more - a pound of gold or a pound of feather?" The answer is that they weigh the same amount - they are both a pound. However, one cannot answer your question without further details since we clearly do not know how much of each object we have and how heavy it is.
Which weighs more feathers or rocks?
Answer That seems like a trick question to me! You could certainly gather enough feathers to equal the 'weight' of a rock. Weight is a measure of gravitational force on an object. The pull of gravity on a rock and a feather will be the same. In a vacuum, they will both fall at the same rate. They will both hit the bottom at the same time. Now of course, rocks feel heavier than feathers. But you could gather enough feathers so that a box of feathers feels just about as heavy as a rock. So which weighs more? Feathers or rocks? The question you should probably ask is which has more 'mass'. A measure of mass doesn't change with altitude, as does weight. Mass will be the same measurement for an object no matter where you take the measurement. And even better, you should probably ask which has the bigger density. Density is mass per volume. And then, of course, the answer is easy to give: rocks have a bigger density than feathers. Because if you take a box filled with rocks and a box filled with feathers, and if both boxes have the same size (the same volume) then the box with rocks is going to have the bigger mass.
What weighs more a ton of rocks or a ton of feathers?
A ton of rocks and a ton of feathers have precisely the same weight. Since their weights are the same, neither of them weighs more, and for the same reason, neither of them weighs less. If each of them were in a sealed carton, nothing you could do with a scale would tell you which carton holds which item, because a scale measures only weight and, as stated in the question and as we have already mentioned, each of these particular two items has the same weight.
Which is heavier a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of rocks?
Neither. A Kilogram is a unit of weight or 'heaviness'. If you have a kilo of rocks and a kilo of feathers they weigh exactly the same.
How much does a gallon of rocks weigh?
A gallon is a unit of measurement used for liquid, and is not applicable to solid substances, e.g rocks.
Which is heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?
They both weigh the same. A POUND of feathers vs. a POUND of rocks. A pound is a pound, and whether it is a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks, it doesn't matter. It's still a pound. THINK ABOUT IT!
