keep gravity, space in mind...
2006-06-07 15:28:32 · update #1
also, keep in mind that mass and weight are NOT the same!
2006-06-07 15:30:40 · update #2
only if they have the same density or specific gravity!

By the same size, do you mean of the same linear dimensions (height, width and depth)? This would certainly give both objects the same _volume_, but as other responders have said, different densities will give the two objects very different mass.
By the same token, two objects with the same mass but different densities will probably not have the same volume. The denser object will be smaller, unless it is hollow. In that case it can have the same volume/linear dimensions as a less dense object of the same mass.

No, a helium balloon has a lot less mass than a 747, even if they are the same size.

Its called density. The formula is d=mass/volume.

Oh no way. Think of it this way... you have a volleyball and a bowling ball they are about the same size One is hollow and the other will break your foot if you drop it....
Ok don't go tryin that out on your own foot!!! Just trust me it will hurt bad ok??

Actually it is more likely that they will NOT have the same mass. I mean, use the ping-pong ball versus the golf ball example.

No. A cubic centimeter of lead has a greater mass (weighs more) than a cubic centimeter of wood, for example.

Not necessary. Depends on the density.

no, compare a brick made of foam rubber and one of lead. mass refers to weight and density

No.
Think of a size of iron compared to a size of feathers !!

No, because their density will be different depending on what materials they're made of.
