What weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

I like you, you are very smart and I do believe my manager.

Lord knows I need one, before I rapture a pile of bots and velcro.

Wonder what you're doing....

Cool, will have to study that more, thanks.

In the absence of atmosphere, everything falls at terminal velocity.

Pick your death wisely, you do not know what realm it will be in.

Dinosaur feathers, vaporized lead.

Thanks!




I studied three years Physics and Mathematics... numbers are my passion!

Everything is common sense, don't you think?

a pound is a pound is a pound? However the feathers unless crushed to the density of lead will take up a lot more space.

You're talking about volume...

That would burn pretty badly if you got hit with the entire pound.

How many feathers, or ounces of lead, do you get for a pound?

I only have the dollar conversion here.

The pound of feathers is heavier.

By default, one lead starts off heavier than one feather. Because of this, you need a lot more feathers to reach one pound. Since you have to keep adding feathers, you end up with a lot more feathers than lead. So your feathers end up heavier.

It's not hard. Learn to math.

OP did not say Gold or Ounces, I did. Orange Man Bad?

I bet you, I can find the website you copied that from.


Have a nice evening.

You forgot the rest


How does that equation even add up??


F force
M mass
Rate a???

The fuck you on about


:epoclol:

Chip cuts straight to the bottom line as usual.

This is simple common sense to you, please explain

You have to pay me a nickel trinket if you use that word. I had omega register it on the other forum years ago.



I will add it to your tab.

She won't reply now

Booo

Now, this was a discussion me and a colleague were having in grade 6. I can tell you the answer based on our deliberations and analysis. They both weigh the same.

The trick (although you dont know it) was in your delivery which misleads the brain into disregarding the fact you clearly stated a pound for each.

What grade are you anyway sonny?

Op should of bamboozled us all by asking about this.. ON THE MOON

Perception is locational biased no matter what part of the universe is within. Agreement on measurement varies planet to planet.
Always say:
Half empty glass or half full is dependent on whether liquid was poured out or poured in. Lol

The answer also depends on whether we are living on a flat or round earth.

On flat earth, the downward force of gravity acts upon the lead and the feathers equally. Therefore, they weight the same.

On a round earth model, the spinning of the earth to create gravity would disturb the feathers and cause them to rise off the ground and float away, thus the feathers are lighter in this scenario.

Determine which of these is true, and you will solve the flat vs. round earth debate for good.

The measure is a pound, regardless of what makes up that pound.

To get your head around it,

Substitute the pound of feathers for a 1 pound weight, same with the lead.
Now put both weights on a scale,

Equal .

Good example of analysis on brain configurations collections pound for pound lol

.

A better question is

"Which weighs more A pound of Gold or a pound of Lead"

And Yes it is a Trick Question.



.

Weigh the feathers one day, then the lead farther down the line (or the lead first, feathers later...your preference, but use a vacuum environment.) The two will have diferent weights at different times.

Go look at the SI definition for mass (a kiliogram) and what physical reference objects are used to define the standard. There are more than one reference units located in different locations around the world, and all of them have different weights (now) over time... Freaky...

Uh, I don't understand the question as ssked - if you want people to take this seriously then you have to make your statement more clear - think you - Flame

Weighing of the heart against ostrich feather is soul topic cleverness
