Certainly, the quill of the feather can easily puncture skin or an artery. You could somehow snort one up your nose and suffocate. You could catch any number of diseases from the feather and perish.

Is a feather lighter than water?
Yes a feather is lighter than water. Water can be gallons. A feather however is no pounds. If you have a scale at home than fill up a cup of water than get a feather, from like a scarf a pillow etc. And put the water on first, then write down the number. Then put the feather on the scale and write down that number then compare.
When will polution kill the earth completely?
Pollution is very unlikely to"kill" the earth. However, it has already started to have major negative effects on our world. Specifically, global warming is ruining plant and animal life, and causing an overall rise in sea levels.
Why can't scientists travel to the centre of the earth?
Heat and pressure would most likely kill a human being before they could reach the center of the earth.
What would happen if you droped a hammer and a feather on the Moon?
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather on the earth and on the moon? The above experiment is supposed to prove the equivalence principle which states that the acceleration an object feels due to gravity does not depend on its mass, density, composition, colour or shape.Answer:If you drop a hammer and a feather from the same height on earth, the hammer will hit the ground first as the feather is slowed down drastically by air resistance.But on the moon, because it is a vacuum, and since the acceleration of an object is the same as the gravity i.e. a = g and the mass is not in the equation, all objects will have the same acceleration and hence the hammer should fall to the surface of moon at the same time as the feather but:"Both will hit the moon at the same time as believed by most scientists?"This may not be absolutely true since every object has its own gravity which is greater if its mass is greater. So the hammer has a gravity much greater than that of the feather. Therefore the combined gravity of the hammer and that of the moon (which pulls the hammer and moon towards each other) is greater than that of the feather and the moon.As such the hammer should collide with the moon marginally earlier than that between the feather and the moon, though this difference is so minute that we assume that the collisions occur simultaneously.However, if the hammer and feather are dropped together, then as the hammer's gravity pulls the moon towards itself, it also pull the moon towards the feather and as such the lucky feather may get a free ride and hits the moon at the same time as the hammer.To be fair, the experiment should be done dropping the objects individually e.g. feather first, then the hammer and then see whether the times taken are the same or not.All the above are valid only on the assumption that the centre of gravity is the part that hits the moon but since this is not necessarily true, we also have to take into account which part of the hammer or feather is nearest to the moon before the two objects were released (assuming that the centre of gravity of both objects are at the same level on release) !The real answer is that there is not enough data for us to know which will hit the moon first !The famous experiment by Astronaut Dave Scott on the moon is not very precise.Dr HW Looi
How you use an misuse earth natural resources?
people dump garbage into the sea and that could kill marine life
Can a Feather kill a human?
A feather can kill a human only if it gets stuck in the trachea (wind pipe).
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather here on earth?
The feather would reach the earth first dumb@$$
Can you kill to get a light feather in wow?
try to find out...:)
What will happen if you put a feather in some oily water?
the feather will go black and sticky. when oil is in water it can kill and danger animals around it.
The Earth on people or people on the Earth?
That's a good question. But I believe that people are on the earth. I don't think the earth would be on people because if it were, the earth would have crushed us since it weighs over 15 million tons. Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Think of it this way: It would make more sense if a feather was on a tree instead of the tree on a feather. I'm comparing the people to a feather and the tree to the earth. Get it now?
How do you make worm on Doodle God?
Earth + plankton or earth + bacteria I forget it is one of those
What can you do on the moon that you can't do on earth?
A lot, you can fall as fast (or as slow) as a feather, since there is no air resistance to the feather's fall. You can jump about 2x what you can jump on the earth. The stars do not twinkle when viewed from the moon since there is no atmosphere to distort the sunlight.
What kill the African eagle?
Hunters shoot them down for fur and feather. Farmers kill them for protection of bird livestock. Leopards sometimes kill them when eagles come to attack them. Lionesses kill them for food or defense.
Why did the feather and the hammer land the same time on the moon and different times on the earth?
The Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't, so a falling feather on Earth runs into quite a bit of air resistance which slows it down much more than a hammer. On the moon, there is no air resistance.
Drop feather and steel hammer at same time they hit ground at same time. why doesnt it work with earth?
It works in a vacuum. It won't work on Earth due to air pressure slowing the dropping feather due to friction.
What force that makes a feather drop slower than a hammer on earth?
Air resistance.
What type of energy does a feather have?
The chemical bonds in the feather store considerable amounts of energy. The fealter also can have potential energy due to being raised a distance from the mass center of the earth.
