a small, twisted piece of metal weighing as much as a crushed soda can

Question: Had the soda can been uncrushed, would it have weighed more? or less?

Now, wait....everybody knows that apound of feathers weighs less than a pound of lead.

Or at least, choose the feathers, if one or the other is going to be dropped on your toes.

it probably would have weighed less if it had more exposed surface areawhile falling... more material would have ablated from it. I am no rocket scientist though...

Are we talking weight, or mass?
