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.

Is a ton of feathers more dense than a ton of iron?
no, ether way iron is more dense than feathers
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.
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 is a cup of pennies denser than a cup of feathers?
That depends on the feather.A new US Penny will weigh approximately 2.5 grams (metric).An ostrich feather might weigh as much as twice that amount.A feather from a canary won't weigh anywhere near as much.A feather from a goose probably weighs less than a penny.
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 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
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.
What are two ways in which density has practical importance?
Two pounds of feathers are heavier than one pond of steel, but the feathers are less dense than the steel so two pounds of feathers have a greater volume than one pound of steel. Density determines weather an object will float or sink. If an object can float on water it has to be less than 1. If the object is more dense than water than it will sink.
Can a pile of feathers be more massive than a pile of rocks?
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
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
more dense
Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
When describing something is less or more dense why aren't lighter and heavier sufficint descriptors?
Because lighter and heavier refer to an objects weight - which has nothing to do with density ! For example - a kilo of feathers is heavier than half a kilo of lead - but lead is more dense !
