An object's weight is determined by the gravitational pull of the Earth. The closer the object is to the centre/center of the Earth, the greater the gravitational pull on the object. An object's weight is slightly less at the Earth's equator than it is at the poles because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, it is flattened, it bulges at the equator.
Weight is a force measured in Newtons. Mass is the amount of matter and is measured in kilograms.
W = mg where W is weight, m is mass in kg and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2).
The weight of an object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity than the Earth.
No, objects do not always weigh the same but its mass will stay the same.

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.
Do two objects that have the same mass and velocity always have the same momentum?
yes
Are bigger objects always heavier than smaller ones?
No. A balloon that is HUGE is lighter than a brick of the same or even smaller size.
Action reaction forces always act on what objects?
same object
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
Is mass the same where you go?
an objects mass is always the same but the weight can change because on different planets, the gravitational pull is different. so, yes

Do objects of the same size always have the same mass?
not always it depends
Does the mass of an object affect its weight after its shape has been altered?
The mass always affects the weight. But the same mass always hasthe same weight, regardless of its shape.-- Notice that there is no 'shape' term in the formula for weight:Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) -- A 50kg woman and a 50kg sack of potatoes have the same weight,even though one of the objects has a better shape.
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 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.
How much is 4kg?
its the same weight as two 2kg objects, or four 1kg objects
Are golf balls the same size and weight?
No, Not Always, But They Are Always Close In Weight.
Two objects with different weights are dropped at the same time which lands first?
In a vacuum, they always land at the same time. In air, it's not so much the weight but the air resistance. If the shape and density are about the same, then the difference in weight doesn't make any difference.
If two objects have the same volume and one of these objects sinks in water can you tell if the other object will sink as well?
Volume is the amount of area an object takes up. If their volumes are equal, their mass (weight) can be different or the same, so you can't always be sure.
Do two objects that have the same mass and velocity always have the same momentum?
yes
