Why do objects have the same size sometimes and have have different masses or weights?

No, objects do not always weigh the same. The way this is when more matter is on an object more weight.
An object would weigh a different amount in a different gravitational field. For instance an object with a mass of 1 kg weighs 1 kg on earth. Its weight would be different on the moon though the mass would remain the same.

Also, some objects are hollow, even if they are the same size as other objects. This will often cause them to be lighter than the solid objects.
differant matirial means differant mass or weight

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoBecause the heavier thing is more dense. Also, one thing might be hollow and another might be solid.

∙ 14y agoIf two objects on the same planet have the same weight, then they must have the same mass.
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThis is because of objects would have different densities.

Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
Do objects with large masses have large weights?
yes
Do large objects with large masses always have large weights?
no
Why different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
Do objects that have large masses always have large weights?
well if it has little mass it has little weight and if you have a lot of mass the possibility of it would be that it weights a lot
Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
Do objects with large masses have large weights?
yes
Do large objects with large masses always have large weights?
no
Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?
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.

Does the earth's gravity pull with the same force on all objects?
No. The gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of the masses of both objects. Hint: That's why it's possible for two people on Earth to have different weights.
Do objects that have large masses always have large weights?

How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
If two objects have different masses they also would have different?
no
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
One of the factors affecting gravitational attraction between objects?
The masses of the different objects The distance between them
