It doesn't. But what makes a book fall faster (seemingly) than a feather or piece of paper (lets say) is air pressure, and the way it is shaped.
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
Yes
false
No, they fall at the same time.
Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them

Yes

depends on weight of object and wind strength.normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.
No, they fall at the same time.
Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.
Yes, that is correct.
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
False
The reason that the greeks might not have had any questions to the evidence that hevier objects fall faster than light objects is because they would be questioning statistics which is that heavier objects and lighter objects do not fall at different rates but at the same its just the pending on the weight ex. a brick and a feather you drop a brick it falls quick beacuse of its weight and a feather because of it's weight it falls alot slower but at the measuerment of the objects falling quicker than the other they don't its irrelevent.
Here's the answer, and I love it. Let's assume that heavy objects fall fasterand light objects fall slower, just like everybody wants them to.Follow me now . . .-- Heavier objects fall faster. Lighter objects fall slower.-- Take a heavy object and a light object up to the roof of a tall building.Then take a piece of sticky tape, and stick the light object onto the backof the heavy one. Then walk carefully to the edge of the roof, and dropthe package over the side. As you do that, yell down "Look out below!"-- The heavier object normally falls faster, so it tries to pull the package ahead.The lighter object normally falls slower, so it tries to hold the package back. Soas they fight each other, the package falls at some middle speed, slower thanthe heavy object alone, and faster than the lighter object alone.-- But wait! They're taped together. How is that different from being glued together ?Or melted together ? Or welded together ? Or even inside the same skin ?-- Or even being the same single object ? They could just as well be a single object,one that weighs a little more than the original heavier object.-- But we just agreed that the package falls a little slower than the original heavier object,even though it's heavier than the original heavier object.-- Our orignal assumption . . . that a heavy object falls faster than a lght object . . . leads usdown the garden path to a ridiculous result.That assumption must be wrong.Don't ya just love it !
