"Easy" is not a quantity that's measured with any standard laboratory protocol,
and the question hasn't defined it for us. So we have to agree on how we'll measure
"easier" first, before we can go on to compare the two hypothetical situations.
We're going to propose three different measurements for "easy":
-- how much force it takes to snatch it up off the ground and hoist it to your
shoulder, in two seconds;
-- how fast it makes you breathe if you have to carry it a mile across the field
in 12 minutes;
-- if it's in a bag, how much total energy it takes to lift the bag off your back
and drop it in the bed of the truck, while the sweat runs down into your eyes
and the sun burns the back of your neck and you still have to shlep the plow
to the back door of the big house before sunset.
(We're really starting to get into this image of "cotton" now.)
Well, to make a long story short and spare the reader any further discomfort,
the answer is: There's not a whisker of difference. If the iron is really 1 kg and
the cotton is really 1 kg, then each one weighs the same 2.2 pounds, and all
of their physical and mechanical characteristics are identical, with the possible
exception of their sizes. But if the boss seals the kg of iron and the kg of cotton
in identical boxes, and adds a third sealed box containing a kg of taters, chitlins,
or dead mud puppies, then there's no way anyone can tell what's in which box.
They all feels and acts exactly the same, whether you tries to tote 'em, lift 'em, or
toss 'em, the lord makes each one just like all the others, can ya say 'praise him!' ?
What else can I help you with?
Which one is easier to lift 1 kg steel or 1 kg cotton?
Both 1 kg of steel and 1 kg of cotton weigh the same amount and would require the same amount of force to lift. The difference lies in the volume and density of each material, where steel would be smaller and denser than cotton.
Which one is heavier 1kg iron or 1kg cotton in vacumm?
Both 1kg of iron and 1kg of cotton would have the same weight in a vacuum. Weight is determined by mass, which is the same for both objects in this scenario.
Which one is heavier 1 kg of iron or cotton?
1 kg of iron is heavier than 1 kg of cotton because the weight is determined by the mass of the object, not the material it is made of.
Which one is heavier 2kg 0f cotton or 1.5 kg of iron?
When we say that 1 kg of iron / cotton, we mean that it is the apparent weight. As they are already displacing air and by Archimedes' Principle they both are acted upon by the buoyant force directly proportional to the weight of air they displaced, and cotton displaces more air, therefore its actual weight is more than actual weight of iron.
How does a seesaw make work easier?
A seesaw makes work easier by transferring the force required to lift one end to the other end. This allows for less force to be exerted to raise an object on one side of the seesaw, making it easier to lift heavier objects with the leverage it provides.
Which one is easier to lift 1 kg steel or 1 kg cotton?
Both 1 kg of steel and 1 kg of cotton weigh the same amount and would require the same amount of force to lift. The difference lies in the volume and density of each material, where steel would be smaller and denser than cotton.
Describe why one kg of iron in comparision to one kg of cotton takes less space?
Since one Kg of iron is much more dense (the weight is concentrated in a smaller area) than cotton, it takes up less space.
Which one is heavier 1kg iron or 1kg cotton in vacumm?
Both 1kg of iron and 1kg of cotton would have the same weight in a vacuum. Weight is determined by mass, which is the same for both objects in this scenario.
Which one has greater volume- 5ml iron or 5ml cotton?
Cotton is not measured as a volume.But 5 mL = 5 mL !
Which one is heavier 1 kg of iron or cotton?
1 kg of iron is heavier than 1 kg of cotton because the weight is determined by the mass of the object, not the material it is made of.
Why is it easier to circle your wrist than to lift one leg up and draw a circle in the air?
It is easier because the legs carry the whole weight of the body and if you lift it for a longer time your balance will go.
Which one is heavier 1kg of cotton or 1kg of iron?
They both weigh the same, 1 kg
Which one is heavier 2kg 0f cotton or 1.5 kg of iron?
When we say that 1 kg of iron / cotton, we mean that it is the apparent weight. As they are already displacing air and by Archimedes' Principle they both are acted upon by the buoyant force directly proportional to the weight of air they displaced, and cotton displaces more air, therefore its actual weight is more than actual weight of iron.
It is easier to discover gold than iron and why?
It is easier to discover gold than iron because gold typically occurs in its pure form or as nuggets, making it easier to spot. Iron ore, on the other hand, usually requires extraction and processing to separate the iron from other minerals in the ore, which can be more difficult and labor-intensive.
Why is it easier to lift heavy objects on the moon than on earth?
It is easier to lift heavy objects on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravitational pull is only about one-sixth that of Earth's. This reduced gravity means that objects weigh significantly less on the Moon, making them easier to lift and move. Consequently, the same force exerted to lift an object results in a greater acceleration on the Moon compared to Earth.
Which one is heavier 1kg iron or 1 kg cotton in vacuum?
The weight of a body in air is its apparent weight because the body body remains immersed in air . Therefore apparent weight of 1kg cotton and one kg iron is same .But volume of 1 kg cotton is greater than the volume of 1 iron
How does a seesaw make work easier?
A seesaw makes work easier by transferring the force required to lift one end to the other end. This allows for less force to be exerted to raise an object on one side of the seesaw, making it easier to lift heavier objects with the leverage it provides.
