A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
A pound of feathers and a pound of lead weigh the same; both are one pound. The difference lies in their volume and density: feathers are much less dense than lead, so it takes a larger volume of feathers to equal one pound compared to the compact volume of lead. Therefore, while they weigh the same, they appear quite different in size and form.
1 pound = 1 pound
They both weigh one pound and are therefore the same weight. The answer to the questions is no.
a pound is a pound is a pound!!!a pound of anything always weighs a pound doesn't matter if it is feathers or bricks!!!
For the same reason a pen is not a pencil. Mass = weight Volume = how much space it takes up. Ask yourself this question. What weighs more, a pound of lead, or a pound of feathers? Imagine it in your head, what each would look like and that gives you the answer.
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.
A pound of feathers has more mass. The are lighter so they would take up more space to make a pound.
Both a pound of lead and a pound of feathers will fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity. However, in a real-world scenario, air resistance will affect the feathers more than the lead, making the feathers fall slower.
1 pound = 1 pound
they have the same weight you would only have a different quantity of the two
One, the correct term is "Which weighs more: a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?" Two, the answer is that they weigh exactly the same, because they both weigh a pound.
Since each substance weighs a pound, they weigh the same amount.
They both weigh one pound and are therefore the same weight. The answer to the questions is no.
a pound of feathers
Cheese bricks, obviously. Actualy if it's a pound of cheese, a pound of bricks, or a pound of feathers they al way the same,, no matter how much it seems that a pound of feathers is the lightest,,there all 1 pound! ^_^
A pound is a measure of weight. A cup is a measure of volume (8 ounces). So it depends on what substance one is talking about. It takes more cups of feathers to weigh a pound than a cup of lead.
