What is denser a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?
Lead is more dense than feathers. It doesn't matter how much you have of either one. A chip of lead is more dense than a 10-mile convoy of trucks loaded with feathers.
Is the mass of one pound of lead greater than less than or equal to the mass of one pound of feathers?
The mass of feathers is far greater than the lead. amount = mass So you will have a huge pile of feathers compared to a small chunk of lead to equal a pound
Which takes up more room a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
Why does a pound of feathers and a pound of lead weigh the same?
Because pounds measure weight. A pound of feathers would be a whole lot bigger than a pound of lead.
What has more mass 10 kilograms of feathers or 6 kilograms of lead?
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
Is lifting 40 pounds of feathers easier than lifting 40 pounds of lead?
They weigh the same since a pound of feathers; No matter how much there are, weigh a pound. And a pound of iron, No matter how heavy iron is, weighs a pound. Therefore; the weight of a pound of feathers is equivalent to the weight of a pound of iron.
Which one has more volume a pound of feathers or lead?
The feathers "take up more room" than the lead. It would be hard to compress the feathers to make them as dense as lead. The feathers have more volume.
Why does 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?
lead is much more dense than feathers, so 1 kg of lead occupies much less space (volume) than 1 kg of feathers

Which has greater mass 1 L of feathers or 1 L of lead?
One litre of feathers would have far less mass than one litre of lead.

What has more mass 10 kilograms of feathers or 6 kilograms of lead?
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
Would a kilogram of feathers be heavier than a kilogram of lead?
No, both weigh a kilogram
Why would 1 kg of lead be less awkward to carry around that 1 kg of feathers?
Lead is denser than feathers, therefore it would be smaller for the same weight. (feathers may be safer in the long run due to health effects ;) )
Why does a kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?
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.
