Which is have a greater volume 1 kilogram of copper and 1 kilogram of iron?
Oh, what a lovely question! You see, both 1 kilogram of copper and 1 kilogram of iron have the same weight because they both weigh 1 kilogram. However, copper is denser than iron, so a 1-kilogram block of copper will take up less space than a 1-kilogram block of iron. It's all about how tightly packed the atoms are in each material.
Which is heavier a kilogram of stone iron or feathers?
Both are equal Depends if they weigh 1 kilogram where they are or one kilogram compared to Earth's gravitational pull. ~The kilogram technically does not measure weight, it measures mass. If all the items you mention have the same mass then the densest material (iron) has the greatest weight because it displaces the least volume of air. A balloon filled with one kilogram (around 5600 liters) of helium will float in the air. If you want to measure weight, the proper unit is the Newton.
Which takes up the most space a pound of feathers or a pound of iron?
Feathers
Why do steel ships float if the density of iron is much greater than the density of water?
The ships are not made of solid iron. They contain much empty space where the cargo and or passengers go. So the overall density of a ship: its TOTAL mass divided by its TOTAL volume is less than that of water.
Which has the greater denisty a 10 meter long bar of iron or 5 meter?
Both have the same density because density is not how large an object is, it is how much mass is in an area (how thick or dense it is), so since both bars are made of iron, both are just as dense, but the 10 meter bar has more volume because 10 is greater than 5.
