If a Pound of Lead weighs the same as a pound of Feathers , which one would you want dropped on your toe?

Seeing as feathers are less dense, I would prefer the feathers, since the weight would be spread out over a larger area--much larger than my toe in fact--so it would hurt less.

something hard and black which dropped on my sandalled foot once and caused me to loose my toenail (one of the 500 ways I have done this to myself)........rubber, plastic, tar?

I would venture a guess that there are about 2000 feathers per ounce, giving a figure of about 32,000 feathers in 1 lb.\nIf this estimate is correct, that would mean about 64 million feathers in a ton.  Why do you ask?

Both would actually fall at the same speed in the absence of air resistance.  Therefore, the apple would fall faster.  \n\nHowever, on the moon, when the astronauts dropped a feather and a bowling ball, they hit the ground at the same time.  \n\nIt would seem that the bowling ball should fall faster since gravity is pulling on it with more force.  But, with the more mass, comes more inertia, which meas it resists being pulled more than the feather.  So, the feather is pulled less, but it resists less as well, so because of that, they will fall at the same time.  The relationship between the force of pull and the object's inertial compensates exactly so that all objects fall at the same rate.

I get all my lead from tire stores.  They use it as wheel weights.  I use them for anchors.

A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.......but....How much ground could a groundhog hog if a groundhog could hog ground.....\n\nA groundhog would hog all the ground he could hog if a groundhog could hog ground

a ton a coal of corse coal weighs more. it also matters wat kind of feathers

I would choose pee a marble since the marble would be easier to swallow to get it in position to pee anyway!

If your talking imperial time then in avrodipus weight a pound of feathers is lighter, in troy weight it would be the butter but under current measurements it would weigh the same.

It depends on where you are doing the experiment. It is a universal law that all objects fall with the same acceleration in a gravitational field regardless of their mass thus reaching the ground together if they are released from the same height but things like air resistance may change things dramatically causing the feather to fall much more slowly than for example hammer.

Let me ask you a question. \n\n If I shot a bullet straight up, and then dropped a feather..  would the falling object move faster than the one going upwards?

What about the toe? Forget about the f u c k i n g toe! You want a toe? I can get you a toe, hell I could get you a toe by this afternoon...

david scott did this on the moon.  the two objects were an aluminum hammer and a falcon feather.\n\nDuring the final minutes of the third extravehicular activity, a short demonstration experiment was conducted. A heavy object (a 1.32-kg aluminum geological hammer) and a light object (a 0.03-kg falcon feather) were released simultaneously from approximately the same height (approximately 1.6 m) and were allowed to fall to the surface. Within the accuracy of the simultaneous release, the objects were observed to undergo the same acceleration and strike the lunar surface simultaneously, which was a result predicted by well-established theory, but a result nonetheless reassuring considering both the number of viewers that witnessed the experiment and the fact that the homeward journey was based critically on the validity of the particular theory being tested.\n\nwatch this:\nhttp://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/image/featherdrop_sound.mov

Gold would be deposited on the surface of the lead.\n\n3Pb + 2Au(NO3)3 ---> 3Pb(NO3)2 + 2Au

not heavier than a feather but sharper than an axe
