What is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

Neither is heavier. They both weigh a ton. Only there would be much more feathers than bricksFirst of all (face palm). They are the same mass, a tone.


If you have a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks which weighs more?

Neither, they both weigh a ton.


What is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of fethers?

This question has been answered to death on this website! To cut a long story short... Given that a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks are of equal mass, but differing volume (the feathers are much less dense, and thus more volumous):Assuming they are measured at the same location on Earth, the ton of feathers would displace more air (a fluid), creating greater upthrust, thus causing them to weigh less.So, a ton of bricks is heavier than a ton of feathers. (on Earth)


Which is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

A ton is a ton, whether bricks, feathers or shoes. So they weigh the same. However in reality, the space taken up by the feathers would also include a large amount of air (which has a lot of mass and therefore weight if you get enough of it), where bricks would be stacked together with little air between. The feathers would then weigh more when actually measured, but only because you aren't measuring just the feathers. ANS2: The ton is a mass unit--it measures how much "stuff" you have. Heaviness, how hard gravity pulls a mass to another object, is measured by weight units. The avoirdupois system uses the pound as a unit of mass. There are 2000 pounds in an avoirdupois ton. Weight is measured in slugs. Since a ton of feathers has the same mass as a ton of bricks we are left to determine which has a greater attraction to the earth (weight). Two factors determine this measurement: "How far is the center of gravity from the center of the earth?" and "Are there any countering forces?" In a pile of bricks, the center of gravity is slightly closer to the center of the earth than would be the center of gravity of a pile of feathers. The gravitational attraction on the bricks would be greater than on the feathers. Feathers occupy more space than bricks of the same mass and, therefore displace more air. Air would provide a buoyant force countering the force towards the center of the earth. For these two reasons, a ton of bricks weighs slightly more than a ton of feathers.


What weight is more a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?

Both weigh the same amount, a ton.


Which is lighter a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

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.


What is heaveyist a ton of coal or a ton of feathers?

A ton is a unit of weight, so a ton of coal and a ton of feathers would both weigh the same - one ton.


How many feathers would be the equivalent to a ton of bricks?

It would take more than 1 million feathers to weigh the same as a ton of bricks, as feathers are much lighter than bricks.


What is heavier - a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?

Neither, a ton is a ton.....they are both the same weight.


What is more dense- a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

The answer is very much the same as the answer to the question: "Which weighs most, hot water, cold water, or water colored green ?" The answer, of course, is: That depends on how much you have of each substance. One thing we can definitely guarantee: A pound of bricks, a pound of cheese, and a pound of feathers all have precisely the same, identical, and indistinguishable weight.


What is heavier a ton of brings or a ton of feathers?

A ton of brings does not exist, but if you mean a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers, they both weigh the same - 2000lbs. A ton is an imperial unit of measuring weight - it doesn't measure volume (or space that on object takes up). A ton of bricks would be relatively compact, while a ton of feathers would take up an enormous amount of space.


Whats heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

A ton of x is neither heavier nor lighter than a ton of y - regardless of how heavy the individual units of x or y. Obviously, you would need a lot more feathers than bricks but that's another question entirely.
