Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?

yes, they fall at different speeds because of friction due to air molecules. In a vacuum they would fall at the same speed.

Why do objects have different weights?
Some Objects May Weight The Same But Sometimes They Don't But What Im Trying To Say Is That Some Specific Objects Don't Weight The Same
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.
Experiment to prove acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass?
Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building. Don't make the objects too small, otherwise, air resistance will interfere with your experiments.Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building.

All objects near the Earth's surface regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them True or false?
False. The question says "... regardless of size and weight ...", but it is weight that is the force of gravitybetween the object and the earth. So when the weight is different, the force is different, by definition.
How do you get two different size objects to be the same weight?
-- form them from substances with different densities Example: a small stone and a large ball of cotton

Do all objets fall at te same speed why?
No. Different objects have different weight and weight affects the speed of the objects because of some factors like wind currents, kinetic energy putted in a certain object, etc.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
People have different weight on different planets or the moon due to variations in gravitational pull. Gravity is weaker on the moon and certain planets compared to Earth, resulting in a person weighing less. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it changes based on the strength of gravity.

Can you measure the difference in gravitational force between two different normal size objects and the earth?
Sure. You can measure the weight of each of the objects, then subtract. Or you can put the objects on both sides of a pulley; this lets you directly measure the difference in weight.
What is the term that refers to two different objects having equal weight in artwork?
informal balance.
Why is the of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is different?
The reason is because the mass is like the volume and the weight is like how heavy an object is.
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 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.
