Is this supposed to be a trick question?
20 pounds of feathers be the same weight as 20 pounds of sand?
They're both 20 pounds.
They total the same, a handful of sand for example would weigh more than a handful of feathers but because they both add up to a specific weight neither is heavier than the other there would just be more feathers than sand..
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 .
Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
a cup is considered a liquid measurement, not weight. eg: what is heavier, a cup of feathers or a cup of sand?
A kilogram of sand takes up much less space than a kilogram of feathers because sand is denser than feathers. Density refers to how much mass is contained in a given volume. Since sand particles are heavier and more compact than feathers, they occupy less space for the same mass.
The difference is in their density. While both weigh the same (1 pound), feathers take up more space due to their low density, while sand is more compact due to its higher density.
The weight of 6.4 buckets of sand can vary depending on the size of the bucket and the density of the sand. On average, a 5-gallon bucket of sand weighs around 50 pounds, so 6.4 buckets would weigh approximately 320 pounds.
Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.
About 1.2 pounds of dry sand equals 1 pound of wet sand. When sand is wet, it typically weighs more due to the water content.
No, sand is freaking heavy
The sand grouse will soak his feathers for his chicks to drink.
14,300 pounds. Sand has a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot.
