When the weight of one object is found to be greater than the other. Either weighing up both by holding in your hands, or by weighing them on a scale. Obviously, if an iron bar is next to a piece of wood of the same size the iron would be the heaviest.

Does a heavier object or a lighter object experience a greater gravitational force?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "heavier" and "lighter". Does that mean the object's "weight" ? Could that be the same as the gravitational force on it ?
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
When can you say that an object has moved or not?
Either by the evidence of your own eyes, or on finding the object in a different place than expected.
An object (say car) goes from one point in space to another .After it arrives to its destination its displacement is ( ) than the distance it travelled?
No. The "displacement" is the difference in position, which is not the same as the distance traveled.
The heavier an object the greater the force needed to move it?
A heavier object has more mass than the lighter object.The acceleration of any object is (force on the object) divided by (the object's mass).A = F/MAs this simple fraction shows, if equal forces were applied to many different objects, you'd immediately see that the smaller an object's mass is, the moreacceleration results.

Is it right to say an object sinks in a liquid because it is heavier than the liquid?
No. That is informal language, and not entirely correct. The object sinks if it has a greater density than the liquid. Density is the weight (or mass) per unit volume.
What both objects are made of the same material but the heavier object floats but the lighter object sinks?
If the object sinks or floats depends on mass or weight. The object can be made of the same material, but if the weight is not the same (say if it is heavery than water) it will sink.
What is another way to say defined as?
[object Object]
Which has more kinetic energy- A small object or a large object moving at the speed of 25 mph?
You don't say what speed the small object has. If both have the same speed then the heavier one will have more kinetic energy.
Is tempered glass weaker than conventional glass?
Yes. All things being equal tempered is heavier than annealed. I have no idea why, but I've worked with glass for 3 years and can say with certainty that it is heavier. I would estimate 25% heavier.

Which is better Nappa or deerskin leather?
It's not to say one is better than another. Deerskin is less durable but more lightweight and breathable if that is what you're seeking. On the other hand leather is more durable and heavier.
Would it be right to say that soap is heavier than butter?
you can answerr it depending on how much soap you have and how much butter you have.
Why do some solids sink and some solids float?
Anything heavier than water sinks; anything lighter than water floats. Or, another way to say it: anything with a higher density than water (water weighs about a gram per cubic centimeter), or a higher specific gravity than water, sinks. If the object weighs less than the weight of water that it displaces, then it floats.
