What has more mass 10 kilograms of feathers or 6 kilograms of lead?
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
Which takes up more room a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
Is the mass of one pound of lead greater than less than or equal to the mass of one pound of feathers?
The mass of feathers is far greater than the lead. amount = mass So you will have a huge pile of feathers compared to a small chunk of lead to equal a pound
Why does a kg of sand take up less space then a kg of feathers?
Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
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.
Can a pile of feathers be more massive than a pile of rocks?
No, a pile of rocks will be more massive than a pile of feathers even if the volumes of the two piles are the same. This is because rocks are denser and have more mass per unit volume compared to feathers.
What has more mass the feathers or the gold?
Gold has more mass than feathers. This is because gold is a dense metal, while feathers are lightweight and airy.
Could a bag of feathers have more mass than the same size bag of rocks?
If the two bags weighed the same then yes they would have the same mass! But If they had different weights then the mass would be different! and the mass of the rocks would be higher then the bag of feather!
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.
Which has more mass an ounce of feathers or ounce of gold?
An ounce of gold has more mass than an ounce of feathers. This is because gold is denser than feathers, meaning that a smaller volume of gold contains more mass compared to a larger volume of feathers.
Does a cup of rocks have more mass than a cup of air?
The cup of rocks has more mass than the cup of air because it is heavier.
What has more mass 10 kilograms of feathers or 6 kilograms of lead?
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
Does a gallon of feathers weigh more than a gallon of water?
No, a gallon of water weighs more than a gallon of feathers. This is because water is denser than feathers, meaning it has more mass per unit volume.
Which weighs less a pound of feathers or a pound or rocks?
A pound of feathers and a pound of rocks both weigh the same - one pound. The difference lies in the density of the objects; feathers are less dense, so a pound of feathers will take up more space than a pound of rocks.
Is the mass of 1 liter of feathers greater than the mass of 1 liter of nails?
No. The mass of one liter of feathers is not greater than the mass of 1 liter of nails. The mass of 1 liter of nails is greater than the mass of 1 liter of feathers. That's why 1 liter of nails is heavier than 1 liter of feathers.
Which takes up more room a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
Is the mass of one pound of lead greater than less than or equal to the mass of one pound of feathers?
The mass of feathers is far greater than the lead. amount = mass So you will have a huge pile of feathers compared to a small chunk of lead to equal a pound
