A pound of feathers has more mass. The are lighter so they would take up more space to make a pound.
The mass of 1 liter of feathers is less than the mass of 1 liter of nails. This is because feathers are less dense than nails, meaning they have less mass per unit volume. The mass of an object is directly proportional to its density and volume, so even though both 1 liter of feathers and 1 liter of nails occupy the same volume, the nails will have a greater mass due to their higher density.
Just because two ojects occupy the same volume does not mean that they have the same mass. For example: If I have two boxes of the same dimension (volume) and fill one with hammers and the second with feathers. are they the same mass? Of course not. another way of looking at the problem at hand would be to take a tone of hammers and a tone of feathers. which one occupies the most space? the feathers of course. so to have the same mass as the hammers, the feathers need to occupy more volume.
Same weight different volume
I'm not so sure. I hope you find it though.
Mass and volume. You divide the mass by the volume to get density with the corresponding units. Mass and volume. Density = mass/volume Often, mass is in grams and volumes in milliliters. Water has a density of 1g/ml. Air has a density of about 0.0013g/ml. Lead has a density of 11.34g/ml.
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
The mass of feathers is far greater than the lead. amount = mass So you will have a huge pile of feathers compared to a small chunk of lead to equal a pound
For the same reason a pen is not a pencil. Mass = weight Volume = how much space it takes up. Ask yourself this question. What weighs more, a pound of lead, or a pound of feathers? Imagine it in your head, what each would look like and that gives you the answer.
Density. The mass of a pound of any two materials on Earth is always the same. However, a pound of steel has far less volume for a pound than a pound of feathers. Thus, steel is far, far denser than feathers are.
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight of feathers.
Both 1 kg of feathers and 1 kg of lead have the same mass, which is 1 kilogram. However, feathers have a much lower density than lead, meaning that 1 kg of feathers will occupy a significantly greater volume than 1 kg of lead. Therefore, 1 kg of feathers has a greater volume than 1 kg of lead.
Neither!!! They both have the same mass at 1 kg. However, the feathers will occupy a greater volume.
-- 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.
1 pound = 1 pound
No, both a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of lead would weigh the same, as they both have a mass of one kilogram. However, the volume of feathers would be much larger than the volume of lead due to their different densities.
Neither of those items weighs more. We know that, because you have told us the weightof each item, and we have completed a comparative calculation. One of them weighsone pound and the other weighs one pound. One pound is equal to one pound. So theweight of one is equal to the weight of the other, and neither of them weighs more thanthe other. Reasoning symmetrically, we are also mathematically entitled to state thatneither of them weighs less than the other one either, as well, also, too.
Yes, a pound of cotton and a pound of lead have the same density because density is a property of a material that is independent of its weight. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so if both the cotton and lead weigh the same, they should have the same density.
