Assuming the was no air resistance, yhey hit the ground at the same time. First you may think the feathers would land last because a feather is lighter and floats when the wind is strong. But there is exactly the same weight so they land exactly at the same time.

I believe that a pound of rocks has to be heavier than the other pounds of items that you mentioned. Therefore, feathers are very very light-weight. Jellybeans does not beat rocks.

You would need a lot more feathers to get a weight of 1 pound, but you wouldn't need as many rocks to get the same weight.

What weighs more a bag of gold or a bag of feathers?

"Depends on how much gold and how many feathers you have. " I believe the riddle is usually "which weighs more - a pound of gold or a pound of feather?" The answer is that they weigh the same amount - they are both a pound. However, one cannot answer your question without further details since we clearly do not know how much of each object we have and how heavy it is.

How many cups peanut butter equals a pound?

firstly i would like to say that that is a dumb question, like asking what ways more a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks! and secondly there are 2 cups in a pound. -Its not a stupid question. But that is a stupid answer. Just because something ways a pound, doesn't mean it is equivalent to 2 cups. Saying that 2 cups of anything equals a pound is like saying a cup of rocks equals a cups of feathers. Anyway, a pound of peanut butter typically ranges from 1 3/4 cup up to 2 1/4 cups. It really depends on the amount of fat in the product. the more fat the more it will weigh and the more volume it will take up.

How do you figure out how many pounds are in a bushel?

Refer to a matter density table or fill a bushel container & then weigh it.===Weight versus volumeA recurring problem -- an incessant, nagging, chronic one -- is the confusion people have with weight and volume. They are NOT the same. Weight is an indirect measure of mass, whereas volume is an direct measure of space. Think of it this way: a pound of feathers and a pound of rocks have the same weight (which means they have the same mass, since weight is a function of mass, and they therefore represent the same amount of matter -- stuff!) But they do not occupy the same volume. Clearly, a pound of feathers will take up way more space than a pound of rocks.Or think of it THIS way: If you have a shoe box filled with feathers and an identical shoe box filled with rocks, which will weigh more? Clearly, the box of rocks. Both the feathers and the rocks occupy the same volume -- a shoe box -- but the box of rocks has greater mass and, hence, greater weight.Which brings us -- tada! -- to a bushel. A bushel is a unit of volume, just like a shoe box is. If you have a bushel of feathers, it will weigh less than a bushel of rocks -- or a bushel of corn, or a bushel of buckwheat, or a bushel of apples. In other words, you are going to have to find a table that shows how much a bushel of whatever it is you have weighs, because a bushel of each substance will weigh something different.
