Definitely. It all comes down to the angle that you point the ray.

Example: take any object and set it on a counter. Shoot one ray of light from one angle and then take another light and point the ray on the opposing side. You should see two shadows.

Yes, if there are two light sources of similar brightness.

This happens all the time with stage lighting.

Does a more massive object weigh more than less massive one?

If the force is gravity, the answer is yes. Gravity "pulls" on an object in proportion to its mass. A heavier (more massive) object is pulled on by gravity more than a lighter (less massive) object. A football tackle is pulled on by gravity more than the average grade school student.


What is it called when it is a complete shadow?

The darkest part of a shadow is called the "umbra" The lighter part of a shadow is called the "penumbra" An "antumbra" is the area of light which surrounds the object creating a shadow, as in a "ring of fire" eclipse (like the recent one in May, 2012). It can best be seen when the viewer is beyond the focal point of the umbra, but in line with it.


When our view of one object is blocked by either another object or the Earth's shadow?

When the mass of one object is considerably Less than the mass of another object is the action-reaction force not noticeable?

If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.


Can an object be a satellite and orbit another object at the same time?

Yes. The whole idea of being a satellite is that the object orbits another object. If you mean 'can a satellite orbit more than one object', then the answer is also yes. Objects orbiting binary stars would be an example of this.
