What is the tool for measuring the mass of a feather?
Balance
Can you determine the acceleration DUE to gravity by dropping a feather why?
Yes and No. Dropping an object and timing the rate of free fall will determine the acceleration of gravity (feet/second) or (how many feet/meters did it fall divided by how many seconds it took to make the trip). The measurement will vary based on measurment accuracy and the location of the test based on elevation. The higher the elevation on the planet less the pull of gravity. If you drop a feather, the rate of free fall is obscured by the air resistance. Dropping a heavier aerodynamic object would be better. But if you had to use a feather, then you'd had to measure the drag coefficient of the feather first and apply that to the calculation. The best example is if you dropped a 1 pound steel ball off the Empire State building at the same time as a 1,000 pound steel ball, they would land at the exact same time (assuming that sir resistance was zero). Counter intuitive I know but none the less true. Basically the force of gravity acts equally on the two objects without respect to their weight.
Is a kilogram lighter than a feather?
a kilogram is heaver then a feather
How does force act upon a falling feather?
Gravity is working to pull the falling feather down to the ground.
How do a feather and hammer hit the ground at the same time?
In a vacuum, a feather and a hammer will hit the ground at the same time if released at the same moment. In normal air, a feather will take longer to reach the ground.

Balance
What was the item placed on the scale to determine passage to the afterlife called?
The scale would balance a feather against your heart -- the point was to have your emotions (which are metaphorically centred around the heart) be light and positive. Negative emotions, such as anger or hatred, would weigh down the heart and thus make it heavier than the feather. Should the scale determine such you were then barred from entry into the afterlife.
What colour is the feather pinned on the boy's sleeve?

What is the correct way to divide feather into syllables?
feath-er
Is Necesito una pluma correct?
Yes, that is the correct phrasing. It means "I need a pen" OR "I need a feather".
What was the heart supposedly weighed against to determine if it entered the afterlife?
The feather of truth
How old is the feather pen?
The feather pen is over 4000 years old. I'm not toltolly sure that my answer is correct, but I do rememberdoing reseach on the feather/quill pen myself and read something that said that.
What is the symbolism for a black feather?
Black feathers typically come from either crows or ravens. If a person finds a crow feather, it is said to symbolize balance, abilities, and skills. If a person finds a raven feather, it is said to symbolize knowledge and understanding.
What was the item that was placed on the scale to determine passage to the afterlife?
The Heart. If your heart was lighter then a feather, you could go into the afterlife. If your heart was heavier then a feather, you would just disappear, and not get into the afterlife.
Can you determine the acceleration due to gravity by a feather?
Unless you drop the feather in a vacuum, air resistance will be significant, so any acceleration (change in velocity) will not be due solely to gravity.
