Yes, if the objects are side by side or at least in identical gravitational fields.

Do lighter things have more mass than heavy things?
no
Is their any chance that the heavier objects in free fall differ from the lighter objects when it comes to its acceleration?
Yes. The acceleration depends on the aerodynamics of the shapes of the objects - not their mass.
How does mass effect the gravitational force between two objects?
The larger the mass of either object, the greater the gravitational force.
Does gravity only act on heavy objects?
No, gravity acts on all objects regardless of their weight. The force of gravity is dependent on the mass of an object, so heavier objects will experience a stronger gravitational force than lighter objects. However, even very light objects, such as feathers, are still subject to the force of gravity.
If objects are larger what is the effect of gravity?
Gravity affects objects based on mass. Fgravity = mg (force due to gravity is equal to mass times gravitational consant (9.806m/s2)).
When comparing two items does the larger item always have more mass?
The larger item does not always have larger mass. It depends on the composition. Objects which are made of heavier materials like iron will have greater mass than objects made of lighter lighter materials, such as gas.Take the planets Uranus and Neptune for exampleUranus Mass: 86,832 10^21 kg - Size: 25,362 km radiusNeptune Mass: 102,430 x 10^21 kg - Size: 24,622 km radiusAlthough Uranus has a larger radius (is a larger planet by cubic size) it has a lower mass (weight) than Neptune.(source of planetary information:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System_objects_by_size)
What are mass particles?
Particles that are heavy. Mass is like MASSive (massive) and massive objects could be heavy.
Do lighter things have more mass than heavy things?
no
What does changing the mass of an object do the the force of an object?
F= ma Heavier objects require larger forces to move them ! Likewise, Lighter object require small forces
Why do lighter objects fly slower than heavier objects?
they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!
Is their any chance that the heavier objects in free fall differ from the lighter objects when it comes to its acceleration?
Yes. The acceleration depends on the aerodynamics of the shapes of the objects - not their mass.
What is metric measure of mass for large objects?
Mass is measured in kilograms. For larger objects, tonnes are sometimes used. 1 ton = 1000 kg.
Is the metric measurement for mass.?
Mass can be measured in two ways. It can be measure in the unit of gram (g) specially for small objects and the unit of kilogram (kg) for larger objects.
Why dont heavy objects fall faster than light ones?
-- Gravity pulls harder on objects with more mass than it does on objects with less mass. -- But objects with more mass need more force on them to accelerate as fast as objects with less mass. -- So it all balances out . . . no matter how much mass an object has, every object on Earth falls with the same acceleration.
Are objects heavier on Venus' or Mars?
They are heavier on Venus due to it's larger mass.
What is the metric measurement for mass?
Mass can be measured in two ways. It can be measure in the unit of gram (g) specially for small objects and the unit of kilogram (kg) for larger objects.
How does mass effect the gravitational force between two objects?
The larger the mass of either object, the greater the gravitational force.
