This is just the most accurate way of illustrating what a pain in the ass it is to differentiate density from weight to people who have never understood there's a difference to begin with.
And an illustration that the common man doesn't know how to measure weight in SI units. Kilogram=mass, newton=force, which is what weight is. A kilogram's weight can vary depending on which gravity well, or where in said well it is, but a Newton is a Newton no matter where it is
A kilogram is a measure of mass, not weight. A kilo on the moon weighs less than a kilo on earth. Gravity is force, so weight would be measured in Newtons (in SI units). Therefore, "Which weighs more a kilogram of steel, or a kilogram of feathers?" Is a question that can't be answered, because their location is unknown. If one is at sea level and the other on top of a mountain, the one closer to the center of the Earth's mass will weigh more. The proper question is "Which weighs more, a volume of feathers that exerts 9.786 Newtons of force, or a volume of steel that exerts 9.786 newtons of force?" (the force exerted by a kilogram at sea level, due to gravity). Also Nott, in this video, is confusing density, not volume, with weight. The volume of a kilogram of steel is much smaller than the volume of a kilogram of feathers. If she was doing the latter, she'd think the feathers weighed more.
@@triccele You're telling me they don't all know each other?? But what about that one time they went to an island and every firbolg there knew each other how about that???
I think sam plays her intelligence as being naturally intelligent in only a few subjects and being a quick learner but other than that she isn't the brightest and probably didn't have the best of educations since she grew up in a samll farming town
I love the original so much because of the visible plain on the dude's face and you have done a wonderful job recreating that with Nott! This is as precious as the song about dogs with their lips stuck on their teefs.
Nott's Goblin brain: 1kg of steel is heavier than 1kg of feathers Veth's Halfling brain on 1,000,000,000 iq: the feathers are heavier because you have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds.
Kilograms are a measurement of mass, not weight. If you were to weigh exactly 1kg each of steel and feathers in an atmosphere, the atmosphere will be introducing a force of buoyancy that will make the steel weigh in at less than the feathers on an accurate enough scale. Add in Molly's charisma and he could absolutely talk his way out of that
I feel like Sam plays her intelligence as more street smarts and critical thinking in terms of mechanics and alchemy and less as academic. I'd like to think she pondered this a long time by herself and eventually realised what they meant but it really took some moments of quiet contemplation to put the pieces together in her head
This is so funny. But I do need to say that Nott is an alchemist and a wizard apprentice, so she is actually very smart. She would definitely know the difference between weight, volume and density.
What's heavier? A kilogram of steel, or a kilogram of feathers? The feathers. They both weigh a kilogram, but you also have to live with what you did to those poor birds
Awww poor sweet summer child so confused. I was literally the same for awhile. Till I learned it’s the feathers, the moral weight is heavier than the steel. You had to have killed some birds to get those feathers....or at least one Roc.
What's heavier, a kilogram of steel, or a kilogram of feathers in a sack? The kilogram of feathers in a sack, because the sack isn't factored into the weight of the feathers, therefore it's more than a kilogram.
To woosh a bit here on the actual joke (having a laugh on the guy who doesn't get it), it's the phrasing that is wrong. Steel isn't heavier. It's denser than fathers not heavier. So it takes less steel by volume to get a kilo than fathers. But... I guess we all know that.
It's a trick question yes steel is heavier but if thier both a kilogram in weight then thier the same And yes that did trip me up the first time as well
Jfhejdbwndhs!! You're too kind bro 💞💞 It makes me super happy to hear that you liked my video! I do have a twitter but I tend to fidget with names a lot, so I may change my username. Right now it's @fyodordraws
I can see Molly doing this but not Cad. Cad would accept their explanation or be the one to say the feathers should be heavier due to the weight of having to live with what they did to those poor birds.
