In normal conditions (in Earth's atmosphere, at the same elevation) a ton of apples weighs more than a ton of feathers, because the density of an apple is greater than density of a feather (feathers are mostly hollow inside). Therefore, the Earth's atmosphere has a greater "floating" effect on the feathers, making them weigh less than apples. People who give "both weigh the same" answer ignore the fact that a ton (1000 kg) is the measure of mass, not weight. Let me ask: what weighs more, a ton of rocks or a ton of helium-filled balloons? Guess! ;) Consider also that if you weigh the two commodities in a vacuum then there is no buoyancy factor.
A ton of gold weighs more than a ton of feathers. While they both weigh the same in terms of tons, gold is a denser material than feathers, so a ton of gold will have more mass and be heavier than a ton of feathers.
Something that weighs a ton is equal to other things that weigh a ton, therefore a ton of anything is equal to a ton of anything else. Even if it's feathers versus lead or cotton versus cement.
A ton of rocks and a ton of water both weigh the same, which is one ton. Weight is determined by the mass of an object, regardless of its composition.
They both weigh the same, a ton is a unit of weight and it is equivalent to 2000 pounds regardless of the material being weighed. So, a ton of gold and a ton of feathers both weigh one ton.
Neither, they both weigh a ton.
a brick
They both weigh one tonne...
They are equal. tw Which weighs more a ton of rocks or a tonne of feathers? They weigh the same!
lol a ton! someone asked me which weighs more a ton of feathers or a ton of butter. guess what i said....
They weigh the same, a ton is equivelant to 1000 Kilograms, if it helps you will need a lot more of feathers than Gold to make a ton
Neither, they both weigh 1 ton.
1 ton of feathers, 1 ton of coal, 1 ton of water, etc.
Neither
A ton is a measurement of the weight of an object. No matter what the object is, if two items weigh a ton, then they are equal. A ton of bricks weighs exactly the same as a ton of feathers.
Yes. Which weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of gold. Answer, they both weigh a ton.
Well lets just say they weigh the same. ==> Two tons of either one does.
