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.
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.
Why do bricks take up less space than feathers equaling the same weight as the bricks?
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.
Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?
Sand. Density is mass / volume. So a higher volume will equal a lower density. Clearly a Kg of feathers will (normally) take up more volume than a Kg of sand therefore the feathers are less dense. You could think of it this way: density is measuring how close together the atoms in a substance are. When the atoms are closer together they take up less volume and the substance is more dense. If you put a Kg of feathers in a box, the feathers would not all join together perfectly meaning that there would be gaps between feathers and therefore the volume taken up by the feathers is greater. You could prove this by trying to push your hand through the feathers. You would be pushing through partly air (which is a mixture of gases and the atoms in a gas are further apart than in a solid) so the task would be easier. It is like comparing pushing your hand through a solid and pushing your hand through solids separated by gas. The latter is easier because there is some "room" for the atoms in the solid to move in to and thus for the feathers to move out of the way of your hand.
What is heavier a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of gold?
A kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of gold weigh the same—both are equal to one kilogram. The difference lies in their volume and density; feathers take up much more space than gold due to their lighter density. Thus, while they weigh the same, they have very different physical characteristics.
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.
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.
Which has the most mass volume a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?
A pound of feathers has more mass. The are lighter so they would take up more space to make a pound.
Why would 1kg of lead be less akward to carry around than 1kg of. feathers?
Lead is more dense and compact than feathers, so 1kg of lead would take up less space and would be easier to carry around in a smaller package. Feathers are lighter and bulkier, so they would occupy more space and be more awkward to carry.
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.
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.
Would the volume of 1 kilogram of feathers have the same volume of 1 kilogram of gold?
The weight of 1 kilogram of feathers has the same weight as one kilogram of gold, because they both weigh the same. Now, they do not have the same volume at all, think about it, to make a kilogram of feathers you need a whole lot of them right? yes is the answer. Now try to picture one kilogram of gold... if you can't, just google it. So a kilogram of gold woudn't have the same volume as the feathers, and the feathers would have the most volume.
Which has more mass an ounce of feathers or ounce of gold?
An ounce of gold will have more mass because mass is how much space an object takes up. Feathers have a low density, while gold has a high density and takes up more space than a pourus (wispy) feather. So an ounce of gold does take up more space than an ounce of feathers.
120 pounds equal how many quarts?
You mixing apples and oranges. Pounds is a measure of weight. Quarts is a measure of volume. A 120 pounds of feathers will take up much more volume then 120 pounds of lead.
What weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of concrete?
They both weigh the same, one pound. The difference lies in the volume or amount of feathers and concrete needed to reach that weight. Feathers are much less dense than concrete, so a pound of feathers will take up much more space than a pound of concrete.
Is lifting 40 pounds of feathers easier than lifting 40 pounds of lead?
In terms of the physical effort required, lifting 40 pounds of feathers would be more challenging than lifting 40 pounds of lead. This is because feathers are less dense than lead, so 40 pounds of feathers would take up a much larger volume and require more energy to lift. However, from a purely numerical standpoint, lifting 40 pounds is the same regardless of the material being lifted.
Will lead occupy a larger volume or will water?
lead and water will occupy the same volume. however the Density of lead is 207.2 g/L (grams per liter) and the Density of H2O is only 18.02 g/L so if you had the same volume of lead and water the lead would be heavier. But if you had the same Weight of both water and lead the water would have a larger volume.
