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.
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.
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.
