Is a ton of feathers the same as a ton of bricks?

Yes, but there is a difference between mass and measured weight. So a pound of mass might not be a pound of weight. I’ve always considered the ton (weight, not mass) of feathers to have more mass than a ton (weight) of bricks, as the feathers have more volume and thus buoyancy counteracting their weight.

Q. How does the gravitational force on a falling body?

Before the body reaches terminal velocity the gravitational force is greater than air resistance. After reaching terminal velocity gravitational force becomes equal to air resistance as velocity remains constant.

Q. Why does a brick fall faster than feather?

Well, it’s because the air offers much greater resistance to the falling motion of the feather than it does to the brick. Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together.

Q. What takes up more space a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?

If you had the same volume of brick as feathers, the brick would certainly have a greater mass. If we had the same mass of feathers as brick, the feathers would take up much more space, they would have a larger volume.

Q. How many bricks are in a ton?

Assuming you want a 2,000 lb ton if the brick is measured in lb, a ton would require 2000/3.6 = 556 bricks (with a piece of the last one left over). And these people produce bricks with weights ranging from 2.6 to 3.0 kg (roughly 5.7 to 6.6 lb).

Q. What’s heavier a Kilogramme of steel?

A kilogram of steel and a kilogram of feathers have the same weight because you used the word kilogram for both substance.

Q. Which is heavier 1 kilo of cotton or 1 kilo of nails?

1 kilometer of nails is going to be pretty heavy, a lot more than 1 kilogram of cotton. Almost 20,000 of them would fit in a kilometer and they would weigh about 47 kilograms. That’s a lot heavier! It does depend on the size of the nail, but even smaller 4d nails would weigh about 37 kg.

Q. Which is heavier 1kg of steel or 1kg of cork?

Iron being a metal element, and cork being what it is, Iron is much more dense then cork, even if the you have the same weight amount. So the amount/volume you would need to have a Kg of cork would be greater then the amount to make a Kg of iron.

Q. What’s heavier cotton or stone?

Both weigh exactly the same: one pound. However, the stone is more DENSE* meaning the volume of 1lb of stone is much less than the volume of 1lb of cotton.
