Since the steel weighs 1 lb (16 ounces) and the lead weighs 15 ounces, the steel is heavier.
Depends, of course, on the density of the steel.
A 21 Gage Steel plate is about 1/32 inch thick. Various charts put it at .032" to .033". That is for plain steel. Galvanized, aluminum and stainless have different measurements for the same gage.
the elephant is on average heavier
It depends. They weigh equally if 2 blocks weigh as much as 1 marble. If 2 blocks are heavier, 10 blocks > 5 marbles If 1 marble is heavier, 10 blocks < 5 marbles
Aluminum has about 1/3 the density of iron, therefore a given volume of aluminum would weigh about 1/3 as much as the same amount of iron. So no, aluminum is not heavier than iron; far from it.
Since the steel weighs 1 lb (16 ounces) and the lead weighs 15 ounces, the steel is heavier.
Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel
To convert the second moment of area (Ixx) from steel to aluminum, you can use the ratio of their modulus of elasticity (E). The ratio of E for steel to aluminum is approximately 3:1. Multiply the steel Ixx by 3 to get an estimate of the equivalent Ixx value for aluminum.
Aluminum is used on aircraft instead of steel. This is because the density of aluminum is about 1/3 that of steel (meaning it is lighter). Aluminum is also more ductile than steel, allowing for it to bend or elastically deform without damaging the material.
Steel is heavier than feathers. This is because steel is a denser material, meaning that a given volume of steel will weigh more than the same volume of feathers.
Yes, gold is much denser and very much more conductive than materials that we otherwise use. Thus making excellent heat transfers and also being very precious and rare in its pure state. Uranium is much denser than gold.

The coated steel is fine. Real aluminum would be lighter with the advantages that brings. (slightly better ride and possibly slightly better fuel economy, maybe 1 or 2 %)
1.0 kilogram of aluminium.
A figure of merit for copper is 231A figure of merit for stainless steel is 8.1A figure of merit for steel (mild) is 32A figure of merit for aluminum is 136.The units are BTU / H * ft * Degrees F.For a given length of time copper will conduct almost twice as much heat as aluminum and 28 times as much as stainless steel (but only about 7 times as much as regular steel). This is why there are copper bottomed stainless steel pots.From the definition of thermal conductivity: for 1 Ft cube of copper it would take 231 BTU per hour to maintain a 1 degree (Fahrenheit) temperature difference across the the length of the cube. This compares to 0.04 BTU for a 1 ft. cube of fiberglass insulation.
The standard weight of 24 gauge sheet steel ... notgalvanized, stainless,or aluminum ... is 1.000 lb per ft2 .
