i dont know if this is correct butt, i think mass, because , mass is considered as matter half the time, and a feathers kilograms take up less space than sands. this is because of the width of the object or substance?
no promises but i think this is rightt

Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space than a kilogram of feathers?
because sand is smaller than feathers and it would take up as much space with the sand , and if the feathers were there it would take up more space because its and larger object than the sand .
How many cft in one ton sand?
I don't know the density of sand so I'll extimate. 1 cubic ft of water weighs 62.4 pounds. Sand weighs about 2.2 times as much as water. so 1 cft would weigh 62.4x2.2 = 137.28 lbs. I'll round to 140 1 ton of feathers is 2000 lbs, so is 1ton of sand. 2000 / 140 = 100/7 = 14.3 cubic feet.
How many grains of sand are in one square inch?
It depends on the kind of sand you're talking about.There are five different types of sand, ranging from very fine to very course. Let's take the middle type of sand, which is medium sand.A grain of medium sand is between 1/50 of an inch and 1/100 of an inch. If you take the middle number between that range (~1/67), then we can estimate that a square inch of sand would have approximately 4500 grains of sand (67 squared is 4,489). This assumes a completely flat layer of sand one grain deep.A cubic inch of such sand would have just over 300,000 grains of sand.Obviously this number will vary based on the type of sand you're working with and can only be used for estimation purposes.IMPROVEMENT:Hmmm, first of all, the "middle number" would seem to be 1/75, not 1/67. Let's take 1/75.Second, the packing could be much denser than what the computation above seems to assume. With a denser packing of the grains of sand, a computation shows a shade less than 600,000 grains of 1/75" sand in a cubic inch.
What can you conclude if a person tries to pour exactly one kilogram of sand onto a scale on five occasions and the actual amounts he pours are 0.80 kg 0.90 kg 1.0 kg 1.1 kg 1.2 kg?
While inconsistent, his average of 1.0 kg made his results quite accurate.
If you had a liter container full of marbles and a half liter container full of sand would the mixture of the two measure 1 12 liters?
It depends on the size of the marbles and the dimensions of the one liter container. Most likely the sand would fill the void space between the marbles and the mixture would have a volume of one liter or slighty more.
Why does a kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram?
A kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram of feathers because sand is denser than feathers. Density refers to how much mass is contained in a given volume. Since sand particles are heavier and more compact than feathers, they occupy less space for the same mass.
Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space than a kilogram of feathers?
because sand is smaller than feathers and it would take up as much space with the sand , and if the feathers were there it would take up more space because its and larger object than the sand .
Why does a kg of sand take up less space then a kg of feathers?
Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
Why does a kilogram of bricks take up a much smaller space than a kilogram of feathers?
Sand is denser than feathers. Since a given volume of a denser material has more mass than the same volume of a less dense material, when you make the masses the same, the volumes must vary.
Which is heavier a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of marbles?
A kilogram is a kilogram, no matter what.
Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?
Sand. Density is mass / volume. So a higher volume will equal a lower density. Clearly a Kg of feathers will (normally) take up more volume than a Kg of sand therefore the feathers are less dense. You could think of it this way: density is measuring how close together the atoms in a substance are. When the atoms are closer together they take up less volume and the substance is more dense. If you put a Kg of feathers in a box, the feathers would not all join together perfectly meaning that there would be gaps between feathers and therefore the volume taken up by the feathers is greater. You could prove this by trying to push your hand through the feathers. You would be pushing through partly air (which is a mixture of gases and the atoms in a gas are further apart than in a solid) so the task would be easier. It is like comparing pushing your hand through a solid and pushing your hand through solids separated by gas. The latter is easier because there is some "room" for the atoms in the solid to move in to and thus for the feathers to move out of the way of your hand.
What object is 1 kilogram?
That's not actually a real math question.because any object could be 1kilogram.. You can have 1kilogram of feathers.1kilogram of rocks.1kilogram of sand etc
Would water flow more easily through sand or clay?
Sand. The sand has space between all of the little grains, clay is stuck together with less space.
Is a kilogram of playground sand heavier than a kilogram of marbles?
No. A kilogram is a kilogram is a kilogram. On the other hand, a kilogram of sand will most likely be a different size than a kilogram of gravel. We are told by the question though that they both weigh one kilogram, so they are the same weight.
Which is heavier a kilogram of cotton or kilogram of sand?
They both have the same mass.
Is a kilogram of sand heavier than a kilogram of marbles?
It's the same weight
How many kilogram are in sand?
The weight of one kilogram is always 1 kilogram. It doesn't matter what material you are weighing.
