given the two objects are of equal volume, the one with a lower density would would weigh less.

When an object is in water is it heavier or lighter?
lighter
Does a heavier object or a lighter object experience a greater gravitatoinal force?
the heavier object
What heavier object sinks but the lighter object floats but the heavier object can be a thousand times larger than the lighter object?
Not a clue. Please Tell Me The Answer ?? :)
Why is the density of an object different than the density of water?
Individual atoms may be heavier or lighter. Also, the spacing between atoms may vary.
Would an object be heavier or lighter on the Sun?
The object is actually lighter on the Sun
Is there a difference between the density of a square wooden object and the density of a rectanglar wooden object?
A rectangle wooden object is much heavier so it has a low density. The square wooden object is lighter so it has a high densityThe shape has no effect on the density of two objects made of the same material.One has more of the wood than the other.
Is there any material that becomes heavier when submerged in water and lighter when it is taken out?
A porous object absorb water and is heavier. In air the water is evaporated and the object become lighter.
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 ?
Is there more gravitational potential energy in heavier object or lighter object?
When they're both at the same height, the heavier object has more gravitational potential energy.
Why is the heavier object harder to accelerate than the lighter one?
Inertia
What happens when the gravitational force acting on an object is changed?
it is lighter or heavier
Explain why the following reasoning is wrong. You should be heavier at midnight and lighter at noon?
Because mass for a specific object can't change, only volume can change. This means you could expand and feel lighter (as a result of lower density), or contract and feel heavier (as a result of higher density), however, your actual mass would stay the same. The real answer has nothing to do with feelings or density. The reasoning is correct. You are lighter at noon because of the gravitational pull exerted by the sun.
