In a vacuum, both of these weigh exactly the same - 1 kilogram. Because kilos are a measure of weight, and not density, any substance that weighs 1 kilo will weigh the same - 1 kilo.
The term that helps us understand the difference between the lead and feathers situation is Density. The density of an object is a measure of its Volume and Mass.
What else can I help you with?
Would a kilogram of feathers be heavier than a kilogram of lead?
No, both a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of lead would weigh the same, as they both have a mass of one kilogram. However, the volume of feathers would be much larger than the volume of lead due to their different densities.
What is heavier a kilo of lead of wood or of feathers?
They all would weigh the same amount, 1 Kilogram.
What would have the larger mass a kilogram of lead or a kilogram of feathers?
A kilogram is a measure of mass therefore a kilogram of lead and a kilogram of feathers have the same mass: one kilogram. They would, however, have different volumes and densities.
Why does a kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight of feathers.
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 has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead which has greater density?
They both weight a kilogram. Lead has a higher density.
Does a kilogram of lead weigh as much as 100 g of feathers?
Yes
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.
What has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead?
A kilogram of butter and a kilogram of lead weigh the same—both are one kilogram. The difference lies in their density and volume; lead is much denser than butter, so a kilogram of lead takes up much less space than a kilogram of butter. However, in terms of weight, they are equal.
Why would 1 kilogram of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1 kilogram of feathers?
Because of its' mass density. The lead would be much smaller in size.
Which weighs more a kilogram of feathers or 2.3 pounds of lead?
A kilogram of feathers is 1kg 2.3 pounds of lead is 1.04326245 kilograms Using Newton's First Law We have that Fnet = ma This meaning that the net force of the 2 items is due to the product of the objects mass and the acceleration which acts upon it. The result is measured in Newtons. The acceleration in this case is gravity which is 9.8 m/s2 average here in the earth, this value changes due to the position the object is in the earth, the closer you are to the equator the closer you are to 9.8 m/s2. Now We have that 1kg of feathers weights = (1kg) * (9.8m/s2) = 9.8 N 1.04326245 kg of lead weights = (1.04326245kg) * (9.8m/s2) = 10.22397201 N Now we can conclude that 2.3 lbs of lead weight more than 1kg of feathers.
Which has greater mass 1.0 kilogram of feathers or 1.0 kilogram of lead?
Density, the atoms in a a kg of lead will be a closely packed solid, a kg of feathers will be a lot more spread out and surrounded by air.. That is assuming both your lead and feathers are under standard conditions..
