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.

Why would 1 kilogram of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1 kilogram of feathers?

Because of its' mass density. The lead would be much smaller in size.


Would a kilogram of feathers be heavier than a kilogram of lead?

No, both a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of lead would weigh the same, as they both have a mass of one kilogram. However, the volume of feathers would be much larger than the volume of lead due to their different densities.


What would have the larger mass a kilogram of lead or a kilogram of feathers?

A kilogram is a measure of mass therefore a kilogram of lead and a kilogram of feathers have the same mass: one kilogram. They would, however, have different volumes and densities.


Which weighs more a kilogram of lead or feathers?

If you had a perfect scale, that could read to, say, the millionth decimal place, and you used it for each, then the lead would weigh more, because its center would be closer to the center of the earth.


Which has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead which has greater density?

They both weight a kilogram. Lead has a higher density.


Which is denser lead or feathers?

Lead is denser than feathers. Lead is a heavy metal with a high density, while feathers are lightweight and have a low density due to the air trapped within them.

What has the greater volume 1 kg feathers or 1 kg lead?

Both 1 kg of feathers and 1 kg of lead have the same mass, which is 1 kilogram. However, feathers have a much lower density than lead, meaning that 1 kg of feathers will occupy a significantly greater volume than 1 kg of lead. Therefore, 1 kg of feathers has a greater volume than 1 kg of lead.


Does a kilogram of lead weigh as much as 100 g of feathers?

Yes


Why does a kilogram of lead occupy a much smaller volume than a kilogram of water?

lead has much higher density


Why does 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?

One kilogram of lead is denser than one kilogram of feathers, so it takes up less space. This makes it easier to carry the lead compared to the same weight of feathers, which would occupy much more volume and be more cumbersome.
