Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
Because although weight does not have a an affect on how something falls, it does have an affect on wind resistance. So, when a leaf falls it's rather substantial and flat surface area combined with it's light weight causes air to keep it suspended for a longer time. Wind can not keep a bowling ball suspended for very long.
In vacuum (no air) they both fall the same rate. In air, the golf ball falls faster because air resistance slows down the very light ping pong ball
acceleration due to gravity acting on it, which causes it to increase in speed as it falls. The force of air resistance also acts on the ball, gradually slowing it down. Eventually, the ball reaches terminal velocity, where the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance and the ball falls at a constant speed.
When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.
Gravitational pull.
The temperature of the ball does not affect the surrounding/outside air, but it does affect the air inside the ball.

Yes it would. Speed will depend on Weight of the ball, Incline angle, Friction, and air pressure.

In air, yes. In vacuum, no.
heavy precipitation often falls in what air mass?
When the ball is in the air, gravity brings the ball back down.
