Whats heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
A ton of x is neither heavier nor lighter than a ton of y - regardless of how heavy the individual units of x or y. Obviously, you would need a lot more feathers than bricks but that's another question entirely.
How many bricks are in a ton?
OK, take an average house brick (is there such a thing?) which weighs about 6 pound 8 oz (2.9K), and then using the English (long) ton which is 2240, you get approx 340 bricks to the ton I reckon -Using the US (short) ton which is 2000 pounds, there are approximately 305 bricks to the ton.As an aside, if you have a 6 yard builders skip that you are filling up you can load about 7 tons max. , that's 2380 bricks, quite few then.
Which is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
A ton is a ton, whether bricks, feathers or shoes. So they weigh the same. However in reality, the space taken up by the feathers would also include a large amount of air (which has a lot of mass and therefore weight if you get enough of it), where bricks would be stacked together with little air between. The feathers would then weigh more when actually measured, but only because you aren't measuring just the feathers. ANS2: The ton is a mass unit--it measures how much "stuff" you have. Heaviness, how hard gravity pulls a mass to another object, is measured by weight units. The avoirdupois system uses the pound as a unit of mass. There are 2000 pounds in an avoirdupois ton. Weight is measured in slugs. Since a ton of feathers has the same mass as a ton of bricks we are left to determine which has a greater attraction to the earth (weight). Two factors determine this measurement: "How far is the center of gravity from the center of the earth?" and "Are there any countering forces?" In a pile of bricks, the center of gravity is slightly closer to the center of the earth than would be the center of gravity of a pile of feathers. The gravitational attraction on the bricks would be greater than on the feathers. Feathers occupy more space than bricks of the same mass and, therefore displace more air. Air would provide a buoyant force countering the force towards the center of the earth. For these two reasons, a ton of bricks weighs slightly more than a ton of feathers.
Which weighs more a ton of rocks or a ton of water?
A ton of rocks weighs more. Since they both weigh a ton, then they weigh the same.
What does a ton of carbon dioxide look like?
Carbon dioxide is colorless.
Which is lighter a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
A ton is a measurement of the weight of an object. No matter what the object is, if two items weigh a ton, then they are equal. A ton of bricks weighs exactly the same as a ton of feathers.
What has more mass a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?
Since thier both a ton...a ton is a ton...but if you're talking about MASS, its possible the bricks would have more as they are more dense. This is a trick question.
Does a ton of cotton or a ton of bricks weigh more?
both
What is heavier - a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?
Neither, a ton is a ton.....they are both the same weight.
If you have a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks which weighs more?
Neither, they both weigh a ton.
Does a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks weigh more?
Its still a tonne
What weight is more a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?
Both weigh the same amount, a ton.
How heavy is a ton of bricks?
It weighs a tonne.
What heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of wood?
A ton is a ton, it doesnt matter if its a ton of jelly beans, or a ton of bouncy balls. A ton is the same no matter what you use.
How heavy is a feather?
a ton of fethers weighs the same as a ton of bricks so do the math
What does a ton look like?
Take a look in my pants
