It depends on the size of the sheet of paper and the size of the feather. The only way to determine whether a particular sheet of paper has more mass than a particular feather is to compare them using a method that objectively measures mass. Using an accurate laboratory scale would be the easiest way to make this determination.
Since kilograms are the unit we use to measure mass, the answer is no: both have 1kg. of mass. :D
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
3/8 of an inch is greater than 1/4 of an inch
You would use inch when your talking about 1 inch and inches when your talking about more than one inch.
The greater the mass of an object, the greater its weight. The greater the weight of an object, the more difficult it would be to lift it. So ask yourself this question: which object is more difficult to lift, an eraser or a car?
A stone has more mass than a feather. And it is not hollow.
The hammer has more inertia than the feather due to its greater mass. Inertia depends on an object's mass, so the more massive an object is, the greater its inertia.
Unless it's a really big eraser, then yes.
A rock falls faster than a feather due to differences in their mass and air resistance. Air resistance affects the feather more than the rock due to its larger surface area and lighter mass, causing the feather to fall more slowly.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The more mass, the more matter. The Brooklyn Bridge is quite massive - has a lot of mass, whilst a feather has slight mass.

Well according to the equation Force = Mass x Acceleration. A bowling ball has more mass than a feather but it all depends on how much acceleration each is undergoing. Potentially a feather can have more force (if the bowling ball has an acceleration of zero, then there is no force being produced, and if the feather is accelerating at any speed greater than zero, thentechnicallyit has more force)
A mechanical pencil or propelling pencil is a pencil with a replaceable and mechanically extendable pencil lead.The eraser is fitted on top of the pencil at the opposite end to the lead.The maximum length of the eraser would be no more than half an inch when new.
Both the feathers and the lead have a mass of 12 g. The trick in the question is that feathers are less dense and have a larger surface area in proportion to their mass, so they would fall a lot slower and be a lot larger than the same mass of lead.
The penny will drop faster than the feather due to the difference in mass and air resistance. The feather experiences more air resistance, which slows down its fall compared to the penny.
Since kilograms are the unit we use to measure mass, the answer is no: both have 1kg. of mass. :D
