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.
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.
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.
Same. That's an old trick question but feathers were more commonly used than cotton.
One pound of stone is heavier than one pound of cotton. While they both weigh the same amount, the density of stone is higher than cotton, so a pound of stone takes up less space and feels heavier.
Yes, silver is heavier than iron. One atom of iron has a mass of 55.85 amu (atomic mass units). One atom of silver has a mass of 107.87 amu. All of this information is easily found on a periodic table.

They both weigh the same, 1 kg

No, iron is heavier than wood.
Same. That's an old trick question but feathers were more commonly used than cotton.
One pound of stone is heavier than one pound of cotton. While they both weigh the same amount, the density of stone is higher than cotton, so a pound of stone takes up less space and feels heavier.
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
Yes, silver is heavier than iron. One atom of iron has a mass of 55.85 amu (atomic mass units). One atom of silver has a mass of 107.87 amu. All of this information is easily found on a periodic table.
Nooo, 1kg gold is heavier 1kg cotton, because the last one has much more volume than the first, so Archimedes force reduces weight of a cotton more!
Their mass is the same.
1cm3 of gold is heavier than 1cm3 of cotton. This is because gold is much more dense than cotton; though the cotton and gold both take up 1cm3, the gold is much more dense, and therefore has a higher mass than the cotton.
Due to atmospheric pressure 1 Kg of Cotton is slightly heavier than 1 kg of Iron.According to me cotton will be more lighter as air is a fluid and Archimedes principal applies on it. As cotton occuies more volume it will feel more upthrust and more loss in weight. Therefore it if lighter.
