It takes alot more feathers to equal a kilogram than it does bricks
the densities are different
Bricks have a higher density- the molecules are packed much more tightly.
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.
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.
because sand is smaller than feathers and it would take up as much space with the sand , and if the feathers were there it would take up more space because its and larger object than the sand .
They both have the same mass, namely 100 kg.But they take up different amounts of space, so we say they have different densities. The person has the higher density, and fits into the smaller space.
Bricks have more density whereas feathers have less comparatively. Space occupied ie volume = mass/ density. So space occupied is inversely related to the density. Hence feathers occupy more space than the bricks.

The answer is two fold: Real and Psychological. The Real part is explained by the relationship between mass and force. When you lift anything up what you feel is the force it exerts on your system (your hand for example) and not the weight. 1kg or iron exerts more unit force on your hand because its mass is concentrated in smaller area. On the other hand, 1kg of feather has its mass distributed over a wider area and therefore exerts a smaller unit force. It therefore genuinely feels lighter. The psychological bit is that we automatically expect something big to weigh more than and item far smaller than it. Of course it won't be if they are the same weight. Your perception therefore is that if "feels" lighter.
A kilogram of gold and a kilogram of aluminum have the same volume because they both weigh the same. Density is the property that determines how much space a substance occupies for a given mass, and because gold is denser than aluminum, a smaller volume of gold will weigh the same as aluminum.
