This question has been answered to death on this website! To cut a long story short... Given that a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks are of equal mass, but differing volume (the feathers are much less dense, and thus more volumous):
Assuming they are measured at the same location on Earth, the ton of feathers would displace more air (a fluid), creating greater upthrust, thus causing them to weigh less.
So, a ton of bricks is heavier than a ton of feathers. (on Earth)
Neither is heavier. You could have 100 bricks and a million feathers, they still weigh a ton. If both weigh a ton, it doesn't matter how many.
No, a ton of coal and a ton of bricks would both weigh the same amount, which is one ton. The weight is determined by the measurement unit (ton) and not the material being weighed.
Depends on the density of the bricks you are referring to. If one brick was one cubic meter and weighed a ton then your answer would be 1. Similarly if it took 3424 bricks to weigh a ton and they were all half a cubic meter, then your answer would be 1712 cubic meters. You require more information.
There are three measurements referred to as "ton" -Short ton (2,000 lbs.)Long ton (2,240 lbs.)Metric ton (or tonne, 1,000 kg./2204.6226218 lbs.)Assuming all three substances are measured in the same type of ton, they would all weigh the same - a ton is a unit of weight, not of density or area.
A tun of bricks is heavier than a tun of feathers because bricks have a higher density compared to feathers. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and gravity acting upon it, so the denser object will have more mass and therefore be heavier.
a ton of fethers weighs the same as a ton of bricks so do the math
Neither, a ton is a ton.....they are both the same weight.
A ton is a ton, it doesnt matter if its a ton of jelly beans, or a ton of bouncy balls. A ton is the same no matter what you use.
Neither is heavier. They both weigh a ton. Only there would be much more feathers than bricksFirst of all (face palm). They are the same mass, a tone.
well they would both be the same, as both would have the weight of one tone. however the answer that i believe that you want is that you would need a lot more bricks to make one tone than gold as gold is a lot denser.
A ton of x is neither heavier nor lighter than a ton of y - regardless of how heavy the individual units of x or y. Obviously, you would need a lot more feathers than bricks but that's another question entirely.
A ton of brings does not exist, but if you mean a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers, they both weigh the same - 2000lbs. A ton is an imperial unit of measuring weight - it doesn't measure volume (or space that on object takes up). A ton of bricks would be relatively compact, while a ton of feathers would take up an enormous amount of space.
A ton is a measure of weight, so they weigh the same provided they are wieghed on the same planet.... which shd be the case for a good comparison.... providing equal frames of reference....
A. A ton of bricks. B. A ton of feather. C. It depends on the type of bricks. D. None of above
Neither is heavier. You could have 100 bricks and a million feathers, they still weigh a ton. If both weigh a ton, it doesn't matter how many.
a kilogram of bricks
A ton is a measurement of the weight of an object. No matter what the object is, if two items weigh a ton, then they are equal. A ton of bricks weighs exactly the same as a ton of feathers.
