Which material has greater density lead or feathers?
Lead
What has more mass 1 kg of lead or 1 kg of feathers?
Neither!!! They both have the same mass at 1 kg. However, the feathers will occupy a greater volume.
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 kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight 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.
