Compare the time it takes two objects with different masses to fall from the same height?

Galileo did a famous experiment about this. The answer is "approximately the same time." It's not EXACTLY the same time because (a) the gravitational pull on the larger mass is very, very slightly bigger and (b) the air resistance for the two bodies might be different, too.

Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
Why different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
One of the factors affecting gravitational attraction between objects?
The masses of the different objects The distance between them
What actually causes gravity. What actually pulls the matter down?
Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved. Different objects attract each other, just because they have a certain amount of a property called "mass".Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved.

How does gravitational force compare between objects that have small masses and objects that have large masses?
It will be larger between the large objects. This force is equal to the universal gravitational constant times the two masses of the objects, all divided by the square of the distance apart the objects are.
Why different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
If two objects have different masses they also would have different?
no

What can you tell about two objects that have the same volume but different masses?
the two objects in question have different densities. The denser object has more mass.
When you compare masses of the same volume of different substances you are doing what?
Comparing density
What effect does the shape of an object have upon its density?
when you are comparing 3 objects of the same volume but different masses, which ever one is the heaviest, is the most dense and the lightest is the least dense. This is because Denisty= Mass ÷ Volume and when the volumes are the same, you just need to compare the masses.
What was Aristotle's belief regarding falling objects with different masses?
More massive objects fall faster than less massive objects.
