If an object is projected off of a table will it have have a smaller displacement (horizontal and vertical) than an object with a greater mass? Assuming that the speed and force is the same

I know that this answer isn't going to be the best. But take a pen, and gently push it off the table.... or give it a good whack, then take a paper weight and see for yourself. A larger mass will NOT always have a larger displacement than the light one, example: if you had, say..... a pen and applied a force of about 9.8N (=1kg) and a speed of about 50kmh , the pen would be launched off the table, BUUUUT.... If you applied that to a car, then it wouldn't go so far.
SO, NO. IF THE MASS IS GREATER IT WON'T =>ALWAYS<= HAVE A GREATER DISPLACEMENT.
If the mass isn't that different from the pen, saaaay... a stapler. Then the stapler would go further. Coz the potential energy would convert faster into kinetic energy, be cause the mass is larger. I know not the best explanation ever, but it'll have to do. So if you're pushing things off tables (things with a mass between 0.1 to 2kg). Then the items over a larger mass would have a larger displacement.
You're welcome... if it helped and sorry if it didn't.
