Sand is denser than feathers. Since a given volume of a denser material has more

mass than the same volume of a less dense material, when you make the masses

the same, the volumes must vary.

Would the volume of 1 kilogram of feathers have the same volume of 1 kilogram of gold?

The weight of 1 kilogram of feathers has the same weight as one kilogram of gold, because they both weigh the same. Now, they do not have the same volume at all, think about it, to make a kilogram of feathers you need a whole lot of them right? yes is the answer. Now try to picture one kilogram of gold... if you can't, just google it. So a kilogram of gold woudn't have the same volume as the feathers, and the feathers would have the most volume.


Which weighs more a kilogram of lead or feathers?

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.


Why does 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?

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.


Which will fall faster a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?

a pound of bricks. Air can flow through the feathers so that causes it to float down. feathers don,t fall. they glide. but everything falls at the same speed. i cant remember what you call the air flowing though the feather but i know it cause im in sixth grade. If you drop both of them in space, then they will fall at the same time. Even though their mass is different, there is no air resistance in space. Air resistance is the force that is like acting against gravity. In Earth, there is air resistance, so in the case of the feather, there is more air resistance acting upon it than the gravity. That is why it falls slower than the pound of bricks.


Why would 1kg of lead be less akward to carry around than 1kg of. feathers?

Lead is more dense and compact than feathers, so 1kg of lead would take up less space and would be easier to carry around in a smaller package. Feathers are lighter and bulkier, so they would occupy more space and be more awkward to carry.

Which has more mass 1 kilogram of feathers or 1 kilogram of bricks?

Neither. They both have the same mass. "kg" is a measurement of mass. If you meant volume (the space taken up by the object), the feathers would have the greater volume.


Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space than a kilogram of feathers?

because sand is smaller than feathers and it would take up as much space with the sand , and if the feathers were there it would take up more space because its and larger object than the sand .


Why do bricks take up less space than feathers equaling the same weight as the bricks?

Bricks have more density whereas feathers have less comparatively. Space occupied ie volume = mass/ density. So space occupied is inversely related to the density. Hence feathers occupy more space than the bricks.


What takes up more space - 1 kilogram of gold or 1 kilogram of feathers?

One kilogram of gold and one kilogram of feathers both weigh the same, but they occupy different volumes. Gold is much denser than feathers, so 1 kilogram of gold will take up significantly less space than 1 kilogram of feathers. Therefore, the feathers will take up more space than the gold.


Which is bigger pound of bricks pound of feathers?

A pound of bricks and a pound of feathers weigh the same because they both weigh one pound. The difference lies in their volume, with bricks being denser and taking up less space compared to feathers.


Why does a kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram?

A kilogram of sand takes up less space than a kilogram of air, because sand is more dense than air. A kilogram of sand takes up more space than a kilogram of gold, because sand is less dense than gold.


What is heavier a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of gold?

A kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of gold weigh the same—both are equal to one kilogram. The difference lies in their volume and density; feathers take up much more space than gold due to their lighter density. Thus, while they weigh the same, they have very different physical characteristics.
