10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
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
Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
Refer to a matter density table or fill a bushel container & then weigh it.===Weight versus volumeA recurring problem -- an incessant, nagging, chronic one -- is the confusion people have with weight and volume. They are NOT the same. Weight is an indirect measure of mass, whereas volume is an direct measure of space. Think of it this way: a pound of feathers and a pound of rocks have the same weight (which means they have the same mass, since weight is a function of mass, and they therefore represent the same amount of matter -- stuff!) But they do not occupy the same volume. Clearly, a pound of feathers will take up way more space than a pound of rocks.Or think of it THIS way: If you have a shoe box filled with feathers and an identical shoe box filled with rocks, which will weigh more? Clearly, the box of rocks. Both the feathers and the rocks occupy the same volume -- a shoe box -- but the box of rocks has greater mass and, hence, greater weight.Which brings us -- tada! -- to a bushel. A bushel is a unit of volume, just like a shoe box is. If you have a bushel of feathers, it will weigh less than a bushel of rocks -- or a bushel of corn, or a bushel of buckwheat, or a bushel of apples. In other words, you are going to have to find a table that shows how much a bushel of whatever it is you have weighs, because a bushel of each substance will weigh something different.
Well, if you say massive there can be a lot of options, massive can be mass, in this case, i think we are refering to mass, so, imagine that you have a pile of rocks against a pile of feathers, if we add more feathers to it, then maybe we can make it massive but in the other hand, you have to think about that a rock, if it is weighted against a lot of feathers, then the rock is massive, why? because only one rock is available to weight more than a lot of feathers
If the two bags weighed the same then yes they would have the same mass! But If they had different weights then the mass would be different! and the mass of the rocks would be higher then the bag of feather!
Answer That seems like a trick question to me! You could certainly gather enough feathers to equal the 'weight' of a rock. Weight is a measure of gravitational force on an object. The pull of gravity on a rock and a feather will be the same. In a vacuum, they will both fall at the same rate. They will both hit the bottom at the same time. Now of course, rocks feel heavier than feathers. But you could gather enough feathers so that a box of feathers feels just about as heavy as a rock. So which weighs more? Feathers or rocks? The question you should probably ask is which has more 'mass'. A measure of mass doesn't change with altitude, as does weight. Mass will be the same measurement for an object no matter where you take the measurement. And even better, you should probably ask which has the bigger density. Density is mass per volume. And then, of course, the answer is easy to give: rocks have a bigger density than feathers. Because if you take a box filled with rocks and a box filled with feathers, and if both boxes have the same size (the same volume) then the box with rocks is going to have the bigger mass.
The cup of rocks has more mass than the cup of air because it is heavier.
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
No. The mass of one liter of feathers is not greater than the mass of 1 liter of nails. The mass of 1 liter of nails is greater than the mass of 1 liter of feathers. That's why 1 liter of nails is heavier than 1 liter of feathers.
An ounce of gold will have more mass because mass is how much space an object takes up. Feathers have a low density, while gold has a high density and takes up more space than a pourus (wispy) feather. So an ounce of gold does take up more space than an ounce of feathers.
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
-- The bricks and the feathers have the same weight.-- The bricks and the feathers have the same mass.-- The feathers have more volume than the bricks.-- The bricks have more density than the feathers.-- Neither the package of bricks nor the package of feathers is edible.-- The bricks definitely sink in water, whereas the feathers may float on water.-- When dropped through air, the feathers fall slower than the bricks, because of air resistance.-- I'm guessing that the feathers cost more than the bricks.
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
Feathers are less dense than pennies. A cup of pennies will weigh more than a cup of feathers. A truck load of pennies will outweigh the same sized truck load of feathers. A sports stadium of pennies will outweigh that same stadium full of feathers. Density is the mass per unit of volume of a material. When we compare densities of materials, we compare the mass of a given volume of one material to the mass of the same volume of the other material.
