That depends on the feather.
A new US Penny will weigh approximately 2.5 grams (metric).
An ostrich feather might weigh as much as twice that amount.
A feather from a canary won't weigh anywhere near as much.
A feather from a goose probably weighs less than a penny.

is a larger number.
It was not always so. The fossilized remains have been recovered and identified of
a species with feathers comprised almost entirely of copper. A cup of its feathers
would have competed for density on a par with a cup of pennies. Sadly, the
negative survival value of metal feathers is obvious. The species apparently went
extinct as soon as there appeared any other species to whose taste it appealed.
To be frank, carbon dating of its fossils has placed the extent of its existence at
not more than 6 hours ± a few seconds. It apparently never reproduced, again
a sad consequence of metal feathers ... it was simply not worth the effort, or the
noise, or the neighbors' derision.

What are good science fair projects for lemons?
Take a cup of lemon juice and three pennies and put all three pennies in the cup of lemon juice and leave it in there for 3 days and see what happens to the pennies.
Why does it take longer to heat a bucket of water than a cup of water?

Does cold water stay colder in a plastic cup or a foam cup?
You're talking about holding the temperature of the water, right? As far as containing the liquid, they're about equal...but a styrofoam or double-wall plastic cup would hold temp better than a glass cup which would work better than a single-wall plastic cup.
What is a 5.5 ounces equal to in cups?

How many cups equal to 100g?
4.349 cups, I used this approximated cooking calculatorhttp://www.gourmetsleuth.com/gram_calc.htmNote: Grams to cups is a weight to volume measurement, and when you calculate this measurement it may be inaccurate in some cases.
Which is denser a cup of feathers or a cup of pennies?
Its pennies why because the pennies are more denser because it has more paritcles and the feathers are lighter.
Is a cup of feathers more dense than a cup of pennies?
Feathers are less dense than pennies. A cup of pennies will weigh more than a cup of feathers. A truck load of pennies will outweigh the same sized truck load of feathers. A sports stadium of pennies will outweigh that same stadium full of feathers. Density is the mass per unit of volume of a material. When we compare densities of materials, we compare the mass of a given volume of one material to the mass of the same volume of the other material.
Is a cup of flour denser than a cup of water?
It is less dense than water if there might be spaces between the small parts of the flour if no objects can be touching and the total density is slightly less than the density of the object and we'll be slightly increasing the volumes when calculating when repulsion isn't high
Can you pour air from one cup to another?
only if the air is denser than air.
Which are denser freshwater fish or saltwater fish?
Salt water is more denser because if you put fresh water into salt water than it wil be in the middle of the measurment cup so salt water is more denser .
What is denser a cup of popcorn or a cup of rice?
Since rice grains are smaller than kernels of popcorn, therefore allowing less air space, a cup of rice would have more density than popcorn.
95 grams equal how many cups?
This will depend on what you are putting in the cup. A cup of lead will weigh a lot more than a up of feathers.
How many pennies does it take to make a plastic cup touch the bottom of a bowl filled with water?
It will greatly depend on the size of the cup. The weight of the pennies will have to counter act the bouyancy of the cup. It will probably take at least 60 - 100 pennies.
