A kilogram is a measure of mass therefore a kilogram of lead and a kilogram of feathers have the same mass: one kilogram. They would, however, have different volumes and densities.

Which has more mass 12 g feather of 12 g lead?

Both the feathers and the lead have a mass of 12 g. The trick in the question is that feathers are less dense and have a larger surface area in proportion to their mass, so they would fall a lot slower and be a lot larger than the same mass of lead.


Which weighs more a kilogram of lead or feathers?

If you had a perfect scale, that could read to, say, the millionth decimal place, and you used it for each, then the lead would weigh more, because its center would be closer to the center of the earth.

Which one has more volume a pound of feathers or lead?

The feathers "take up more room" than the lead. It would be hard to compress the feathers to make them as dense as lead. The feathers have more volume.


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 greater a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead?

Their masses are the same, so they have the same weigh whenever they're both on the same planet. A kilogram is a kilogram, no matter what form it takes. 1 kilogram is the exact same measure. Its like asking which is longer, a centimeter of chalk or a centimeter of candy. It's also the same as asking: What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead ?


Why does a kilogram of bricks take up a much smaller space than a kilogram of feathers?

Sand is denser than feathers. Since a given volume of a denser material has more mass than the same volume of a less dense material, when you make the masses the same, the volumes must vary.
