How does a pound of bricks and a pound of feathers compare?

-- 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.

Which will fall faster a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?

a pound of bricks. Air can flow through the feathers so that causes it to float down. feathers don,t fall. they glide. but everything falls at the same speed. i cant remember what you call the air flowing though the feather but i know it cause im in sixth grade. If you drop both of them in space, then they will fall at the same time. Even though their mass is different, there is no air resistance in space. Air resistance is the force that is like acting against gravity. In Earth, there is air resistance, so in the case of the feather, there is more air resistance acting upon it than the gravity. That is why it falls slower than the pound of bricks.

Neither is heavier or lighter than the other. They both have the same weight. Namely, one pound. Strange as it may seem, they both also have the same mass, namely 0.4536 kilogram. (rounded) This is a very old and venerated trick question whos answer lies in the question. A pound is a pound, no matter the material. There will be many more feathers than bricks, but they will weigh the same.
