they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass

is an objects density the measure of the amount of matter in the object compared to known masses
The masses of both objects, and the distance.
Yes. The forces of gravity between two objects depend on the product of their masses, so it depends on the masses of both objects.
The force of gravity between two objects depends on the product of the two masses and the distance between them. The force has nothing to do with how similar or different the objects are.
According to Galileo, the mass of an object has no effect on the time of descent here on earth under a constant gravitational value, he discovered that objects will reach the ground at the same even though they may have different masses. this is due to the same rate of acceleration of objects experienced here on earth (approximately 9.8m/s/s). Merely the minute difference in the time observed between two falling objects of different masses can be attributed to the heavier object overcoming the friction force of air resistance better than the lighter.
the two objects in question have different densities. The denser object has more mass.

Of course objects have mass because Mass is any object that has weight.
relate the force of gavity on the different object to their masses relate the force of gavity on the different object to their masses relate the force of gavity on the different object to their masses
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.
The masses of both objects, and the distance.
Mass b > mass a
Yes. All objects that have mass are affected by gravity and the gravitational force varies with the masses of the objects.
Yes. The forces of gravity between two objects depend on the product of their masses, so it depends on the masses of both objects.
No, this is actually very unlikely. An object made of balsa wood and an object made of steel, even if they have identical volumes will have very different masses!
