Both are as heavy as each other. however as iron is more dense, it would take up much less space.

∙ 11y agoBoth 1 kg of cotton and 1 kg of iron weigh the same - they both weigh 1 kg. Weight is based on the mass of the object, not the material it is made of.
1 kg of iron is heavier than 1 kg of cotton because the weight is determined by the mass of the object, not the material it is made of.
When we say that 1 kg of iron / cotton, we mean that it is the apparent weight. As they are already displacing air and by Archimedes' Principle they both are acted upon by the buoyant force directly proportional to the weight of air they displaced, and cotton displaces more air, therefore its actual weight is more than actual weight of iron.
In vacuum, both 1 kg of cotton and 1 kg of iron would weigh the same. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, and in vacuum, there is no air resistance or buoyancy affecting the weight of the objects. So, 1 kg of cotton and 1 kg of iron would have the same weight.
Both cotton and iron will weigh the same in a vacuum because weight is determined by the mass of an object and gravity. Each object weighs 1 kg in this scenario, regardless of the environment.
Both the cotton and iron will fall to the ground at the same rate because in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This phenomenon is known as the Equivalence Principle.

Since one Kg of iron is much more dense (the weight is concentrated in a smaller area) than cotton, it takes up less space.

Inertia depends on mass, not material composition. Both 1 kg of cotton and 1 kg of iron have the same mass, hence they exhibit the same inertia. Inertia is a property that describes an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion, which is solely determined by its mass.
They both weigh the same, 1 kg
iron bar first
The weight of a body in air is its apparent weight because the body body remains immersed in air . Therefore apparent weight of 1kg cotton and one kg iron is same .But volume of 1 kg cotton is greater than the volume of 1 iron
Both 1 kg of iron and 1 kg of cotton will fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to the effect of gravity, as they have the same mass. In the presence of air resistance, the cotton may appear to fall slower due to its larger surface area compared to the iron.
The weight of the objects is not provided, so it is impossible to determine which is heavier based on the information given.
