From a selection of web sources, the bulk density of mulch ranges from about 850 lbs/yd³ for a composite type to about 450 lbs/yd³ for bark mulch.
2,000 lb / 850 lb/yd³ = 2.35 yd³
2,000 lb / 450 lb/yd³ = 4.4 yd³
So I'd guess anywhere between 2.4 to 4.4 yd³.

It is difficult to say exactly what the weight of the soil is, which depends on the composition; but an estimate per the related link is around 1500 pounds per cubic yard. This converts to 1 cubic yard of soil weighs 1500/2000 tons or 3/4 ton. So, a ton of soil will be approximately 4/3 or 1 1/3 cubic yards.
A university extension website would tend to be an authoritative, respected source of information. The Sanpete Cooperative Extension in Ephraim, Utah, links 60,000 cubic yards of turkey litter with 24,700 tons. That would be about 2.43 [2.429121] yards.
1,000 lbs or 454 Kilograms
All depends on the product. 1 cubic yard of screened top soil equals 1 ton. Of screened gravel, 1 yard equals 2 tons. 3 to 6 inch rock, one yard is 1.5 tons. Crushed Limestone 1 yard equals 2 tons
Something on the order of .6 yards per US ton

When it comes to mulch or concrete, a so-called "yard"actually means a "cubic yard".1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet2 cubic yards = 54 cubic feet...6 cubic yards = 162 cubic feet ( = 81 bags )

1 cubic yard will cover 15 square yards at 3 inches deep.
1 cubic yard is 3x3x3 = 27 cubic feet 49 yards = 49x27 = 1323 cubic feet 1323/2 = 661 bags - that is a lot of bags! Make sure by yards you mean actual cubic yards, not linear yards, in which case you need to know depth and width of mulch as well

There are two 'types' of ton. An Imperial ton and a US ton An Imperial ton has 2,240 pounds A US ton has 2,000 pounds So, depending on where you are, 17 pounds is either 0.0075892857 Imperial tons, or 0.0085 US tons
