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 weighs more-a pound of cheese bricks or feathers?
Cheese bricks, obviously. Actualy if it's a pound of cheese, a pound of bricks, or a pound of feathers they al way the same,, no matter how much it seems that a pound of feathers is the lightest,,there all 1 pound! ^_^
Which weighs more 2 pounds of brick or 2 pounds of feathers?
If you give me two sealed cartons, one with 2 pounds of bricks in it and the other with 2 pounds of feathers in it, there's no way I can use a scale to tell which is which, because their weights are the same. Do you think maybe a truck doesn't need such a large engine to carry a ton of feathers as it needs to carry a ton of bricks ? 2 pounds of bricks, 2 pounds of feathers, 2 pounds of mud, corn flakes, uranium, dog fur, newspaper, pencils, gasoline, onions, cotton swabs, salt, ballpoint pens, tomatoes, cat litter, red paint, potting soil, purple yarn, wrapping paper, tea bags, junk mail, cellphones, toilet paper, helium, dollar bills, laundry soap, bus tokens, or instant coffee all weigh exactly the same.
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 way more 1Ib of bricks 1Ib of feathers or 1Ib of cheeseS?
1Ib of bricks.
Which weight more a pound or feathers or a pound of bricks?

Why do bricks take up less space than feathers equaling the same weight as the bricks?
Bricks have more density whereas feathers have less comparatively. Space occupied ie volume = mass/ density. So space occupied is inversely related to the density. Hence feathers occupy more space than the bricks.
Why does a kilogram of bricks take up a much smaller space than kilogram of feathers?
It takes alot more feathers to equal a kilogram than it does bricks
