In vacuum, yes. Otherwise the object with a lower density will fall more slowly.

Why can two objects with the same mass have different densities?
Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.
How Mass and volume can affect the density of the volume?
The definition of density is mass per unit volume. For any object or sample of a substance, it can be calculated as (mass) divided by (volume). If two objects or samples with the same volume have different masses, the one with the greater mass has greater density. If two objects or samples with the same mass have different volumes, the one with the greater volume has smaller density.
If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?
No, they will not, unless they are the same material. Every material has a different density, and mass = density x volume
Can you weigh density?
No. Density is a ratio; it is mass divided by volume. Anything that you can weigh has a non-zero density, but the weight of the thing is related to its mass and the gravity where it is being measured. You could have two objects of vastly different density, but the weight of the objects could be the same.
Which term compares an objects mass to its volume?
density is mass divided by volume
Do things with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?
In vacuum, neither mass nor density will make any difference. Otherwise, air resistance becomes relevant and objects with lower density fall lower.
Do different objects have different density?
Yes, of course! Density=mass divided by volume.
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
How does density change with different objects?
The density changes with different objects as all have different mass and volume(the space an object occupies) and the more compressed(Compact) the object is the more density it has.

Volume. Density depends on mass and volume. Density = mass/volume. Things that have the exact same mass can have different densities if the volume associated with either are different.
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)

If two objects or samples with the same volume have different masses, the one with the greater mass has greater density.

If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?
No, they will not, unless they are the same material. Every material has a different density, and mass = density x volume
What is the density of objects?
Density is mass divided by volume. So: Density= mass/volume
How is density affected if two objects have the same volume but different masses?
Greater the mass higher the density and less the mass lower the density as D = M/V For fixed V, density is directly proportional to the mass.
