Wter has a higher density.
Something that weighs a ton is equal to other things that weigh a ton, therefore a ton of anything is equal to a ton of anything else. Even if it's feathers versus lead or cotton versus cement.
The feathers "take up more room" than the lead. It would be hard to compress the feathers to make them as dense as lead. The feathers have more volume.
Both the feathers and the lead have a mass of 12 g. The trick in the question is that feathers are less dense and have a larger surface area in proportion to their mass, so they would fall a lot slower and be a lot larger than the same mass of lead.
Lead is the denser element
The weight of a sample depends on both its density and volume. While iron is denser than feathers, a large enough volume of feathers can outweigh a smaller volume of iron. For instance, if you have a bulk of feathers that occupies a significant space, their combined weight could surpass that of a small, dense piece of iron. Therefore, it’s possible for a sample of feathers to weigh more than a sample of iron despite the difference in density.
Lead is more dense than feathers. It doesn't matter how much you have of either one. A chip of lead is more dense than a 10-mile convoy of trucks loaded with feathers.
Lead has a much greater density than feathers. Lead is a dense metal with a density of about 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, while feathers are lightweight and have a density significantly lower than that of lead, typically around 0.0025 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore, lead is far denser than feathers.
Lead is denser than feathers, therefore it would be smaller for the same weight. (feathers may be safer in the long run due to health effects ;) )
1 kg of lead and 1 kg of feathers have the same mass, but they differ significantly in volume. Lead is much denser than feathers, so 1 kg of lead occupies a much smaller volume compared to 1 kg of feathers. Therefore, 1 kg of feathers has a greater volume than 1 kg of lead.
Its pennies why because the pennies are more denser because it has more paritcles and the feathers are lighter.
One kilogram of lead is denser than one kilogram of feathers, so it takes up less space. This makes it easier to carry the lead compared to the same weight of feathers, which would occupy much more volume and be more cumbersome.
Lead is denser.
If you had a perfect scale, that could read to, say, the millionth decimal place, and you used it for each, then the lead would weigh more, because its center would be closer to the center of the earth.
Lead is denser than iron.

Lead is denser than iron. Lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm^3, while iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm^3.
