Lead is more dense than feathers.

It doesn't matter how much you have of either one. A chip of lead is

more dense than a 10-mile convoy of trucks loaded with feathers.

What take up more volume a ton of feathers or a ton of lead?

A ton of feathers takes up significantly more volume than a ton of lead. This is because feathers are much less dense than lead; therefore, it requires a larger space to equal the same weight. While both weigh a ton, the physical properties of the materials result in feathers occupying a much greater volume.


What material has a greater density lead or feathers?

Lead has a much greater density than feathers. Lead is a dense metal with a density of about 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, while feathers are lightweight and have a density significantly lower than that of lead, typically around 0.0025 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore, lead is far denser than feathers.


What has more volume 1 kg lead or 1 kg feathers?

1 kg of lead and 1 kg of feathers have the same mass, but they differ significantly in volume. Lead is much denser than feathers, so 1 kg of lead occupies a much smaller volume compared to 1 kg of feathers. Therefore, 1 kg of feathers has a greater volume than 1 kg of lead.


If you have a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks which weighs more?

Neither, they both weigh a ton.


What is heavier a ton of brings or a ton of feathers?

A ton of brings does not exist, but if you mean a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers, they both weigh the same - 2000lbs. A ton is an imperial unit of measuring weight - it doesn't measure volume (or space that on object takes up). A ton of bricks would be relatively compact, while a ton of feathers would take up an enormous amount of space.

Which has a greater mass a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?

Something that weighs a ton is equal to other things that weigh a ton, therefore a ton of anything is equal to a ton of anything else. Even if it's feathers versus lead or cotton versus cement.


Which is denser lead or feathers?

Lead is denser than feathers. Lead is a heavy metal with a high density, while feathers are lightweight and have a low density due to the air trapped within them.

How many pounds in a ton of lead?

There are 2000 pounds in a ton (US) or 2240 pounds in a ton (UK). It does not matter if it is lead, gold, paper, or feathers - a ton is a ton.


Has anyone ever weighed a ton of feathers?

Yes, a ton is a measure of weight, so weighing a ton of feathers is the same as weighing a ton of any other substance. Feathers are very lightweight, so a ton of feathers would take up a lot of space but would not be as dense or heavy as a ton of a denser material like metal or rock.


Light as a feather?

think we're talking perception here... eg which is the heaviest - a ton of feathers or a ton of lead ??....


Why would 1 kg of lead be less awkward to carry around that 1 kg of feathers?

Lead is denser than feathers, therefore it would be smaller for the same weight. (feathers may be safer in the long run due to health effects ;) )


What has more volume 1 kg lead or 1 kg feathers?

1 kg of lead and 1 kg of feathers have the same mass, but they differ significantly in volume. Lead is much denser than feathers, so 1 kg of lead occupies a much smaller volume compared to 1 kg of feathers. Therefore, 1 kg of feathers has a greater volume than 1 kg of lead.


Is a ton of feathers more dense than a ton of iron?

No, a ton of feathers and a ton of iron have the same weight because they both weigh a ton. However, the volume occupied by the ton of feathers would be significantly larger than the ton of iron due to the lower density of feathers.


Which is heavier a ton of iron or a ton of feathers?

They are both equal in weight.


Which is more a ton or a cubic yard?

depends on the material you are measuring, a cubic yard of feathers may not weigh a ton, but a cubic yard of lead would.


What is heaveyist a ton of coal or a ton of feathers?

Neither is heavier. You could have 100 bricks and a million feathers, they still weigh a ton. If both weigh a ton, it doesn't matter how many.
