YUPP... if you have a chicken nugget and a gold nugget, they can both have the same mass but the gold nugget is going to weigh one heck of a lot more. (my dad told me this so you betcha its right.)

Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?
No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
Can objects have different weight but same volume?
Yes. A good example would be styrofoam and steel. The same volume of each of these substances would make for vastly different weights.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Do objects of different weights but similar size and shape fall to the ground at the same rate?
Yes. In the absence of air, it doesn't even matter how their shapes and sizes compare.
Why did different size of blocks of wood have the same density?
Density isn't determined by the size of the specimen but by its mass per unit of volume. An oak branch has the same density as the whole tree it came from--the weights are vastly different, but density is the same.
What are some objects that have the same mass but different weights?
I believe that it is not possible to have the same mass and different weights. Unless you are on the moon with a different gravitational pull.
Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?
No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
Why do objects have different weights?
Objects have different weights because weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. Objects with more mass will have more weight because gravity pulls on them with a greater force. Different materials and shapes can also affect the weight of an object.
Why do objects have the same size sometimes and have have different masses or weights?
Objects can have the same size but different masses because mass is determined by the amount of matter in an object, while size refers to its dimensions. Therefore, objects made of different materials or with different densities can have the same size but different masses. Weight, on the other hand, depends on both the mass of an object and the force of gravity acting on it, so objects with the same mass can have different weights if they are in locations with different gravitational forces.
Is it true two objects with the same mass will always have the same momentum?
No, two objects with the same mass will not always have the same momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on both mass and velocity. If the objects are moving at different speeds, they will have different momenta even if they have the same mass.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of inertia?
Different velocities is what causes objects to have the same mass and different amounts of inertia. This can be written in a formula.
If two objects have the same mass can you assume they have the same volume Explain give example?
No, two objects with the same mass can have different volumes if they have different densities. Density is the mass of an object per unit volume. For example, a bar of gold and a bar of aluminum can have the same mass but different volumes due to their different densities.
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
Why can two objects with the same mass have different densities?
Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of intertia?
If the objects have different velocities they will have different inertia.
Why is it that two different substances that have the same masses can have differen weights?
Two different substances that have the same mass will also have the same weight if they are in the same location. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of a body (or substance). The force of gravity decreases the further you are from the center of the earth, so it is possible for two substances with the same mass to have different weights if they are at different distances from the center of the earth.
Why do different weighted objects fall at the same rate?
Different weighted objects fall at the same rate due to the constant acceleration of gravity acting on all objects regardless of their mass. This acceleration causes all objects to experience the same rate of falling, known as the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). Thus, in the absence of other forces like air resistance, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
