Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?

Sand.
Density is mass / volume. So a higher volume will equal a lower density. Clearly a Kg of feathers will (normally) take up more volume than a Kg of sand therefore the feathers are less dense.
You could think of it this way: density is measuring how close together the atoms in a substance are. When the atoms are closer together they take up less volume and the substance is more dense.
If you put a Kg of feathers in a box, the feathers would not all join together perfectly meaning that there would be gaps between feathers and therefore the volume taken up by the feathers is greater. You could prove this by trying to push your hand through the feathers. You would be pushing through partly air (which is a mixture of gases and the atoms in a gas are further apart than in a solid) so the task would be easier. It is like comparing pushing your hand through a solid and pushing your hand through solids separated by gas. The latter is easier because there is some "room" for the atoms in the solid to move in to and thus for the feathers to move out of the way of your hand.

Why does a kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram?
A kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram of feathers because sand is denser than feathers. Density refers to how much mass is contained in a given volume. Since sand particles are heavier and more compact than feathers, they occupy less space for the same mass.
Which is heavier a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of marbles?
A kilogram is a kilogram, no matter what.
What object is 1 kilogram?
That's not actually a real math question.because any object could be 1kilogram.. You can have 1kilogram of feathers.1kilogram of rocks.1kilogram of sand etc
Which is heavier a kilogram of cotton or kilogram of sand?
They both have the same mass.
Is a kilogram of sand heavier than a kilogram of marbles?
It's the same weight

Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space than a kilogram of feathers?
because sand is smaller than feathers and it would take up as much space with the sand , and if the feathers were there it would take up more space because its and larger object than the sand .
Why does a kilogram of bricks take up a much smaller space than a kilogram of feathers?
Sand is denser than feathers. Since a given volume of a denser material has more mass than the same volume of a less dense material, when you make the masses the same, the volumes must vary.
How much is 1 kilogram of sand?
1 kg is still 1 kg no matter what the substance is. a kilogram weighs 2.2 lbs brewski
Why does compacted sand have a greater density than loose sand poured into a container What does this mean?
In compacted sand the grains of sand are closer together, meaning there are more grains in a certain volume. This gives a higher value for density.
Which is heavier a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of marbles?
A kilogram is a kilogram, no matter what.

That's not actually a real math question.because any object could be 1kilogram.. You can have 1kilogram of feathers.1kilogram of rocks.1kilogram of sand etc
Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space then a kilogram of feathers?
i dont know if this is correct butt, i think mass, because , mass is considered as matter half the time, and a feathers kilograms take up less space than sands. this is because of the width of the object or substance? no promises but i think this is rightt <333
What has a higher Bulk Density 5 gal bucket of sand or percent gallon bucket of clay?
Clay
Is a kilogram of playground sand heavier than a kilogram of marbles?
No. A kilogram is a kilogram is a kilogram. On the other hand, a kilogram of sand will most likely be a different size than a kilogram of gravel. We are told by the question though that they both weigh one kilogram, so they are the same weight.
Does Sand sinks in water because water is more dense than sand?
Sand has a higher density than water and therefore it will sink in water. The density of sand varies depending on the type but is usually in the region of 2-3 g/cm3 compare to 1 g/cm3 for water.
How do you separate sand and gasoline?
by using the seperating techniques first you seperate it from the sand by filtration then you use a seperatin funnel and pour the filtrarte (the liquid in this case the gasoline and water) in this the liquid with higher density will sink (the gasoline) and you open the tap till almost al the liquid of higher density is out
