Answer is: density doesn't affect on weigh.
Density <span>of a substance is its </span>mass<span> per unit </span>volume, <span>density is defined as mass divided by volume (d = m/V).
</span>Weight is force<span> on the object due to </span>gravity. Weight is <span>product of the </span>mass<span> of substance and the magnitude of the local </span>gravitational acceleration (<span>W = <span>mg). Feather can have larger mass and also weight.</span></span>

<span>How iron can be more dense as a feather yet more feathers can weigh more is because density and weight are two completely different things. No matter how many feathers there are it's density never changes, it's weight is able to change but not density. Therefore the density of iron is higher no matter what but may weigh less than a group of feathers.</span>

Science, compare and contrast Quantitative and Qualitative observations
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Quantitative observation have accuracy over qualitative observation as in Quantitative observation data is recorded in terms of number .

Explanation:
Qualitative observations are descriptive observations that don't involve numbers. " The freezing point of water is colder than the boiling point " is an example. Quantitative observations are numerical measurements. "The freezing point of watrr is 0 c and boiling point is 100 c" is a quantitative observation.

How many grams of water would require 2200 joules of heat to raise it’s temperature from 34 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees celsi
Arada [10]

Answer:

Mass, m = 7.97 grams

Explanation:

We have,

Initial temperature was 34 degrees Celsius

Heat produced in it is 100 calories of heat

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g °C

The heat produced due to change in temperature is given by :

Q=mc(T_f-T_i)

m is mass of water in grams

m=\dfrac{Q}{c(T_f-T_i)}\\\\m=\dfrac{2200}{4.18\times (100-34)}\\\\m=7.97\ g

So, 7.97 grams of water is required to produce heat of 2200 joules.
