Aerodynamic drag, depends on size, surface texture and shape.
The force behind it = mass * acceleration due to gravity

How does the surface of an object affect its temperature?
Higher the surface area of an object, higher is its ability to radiate heat.
How does surface area affect friction?
more rough surface more friction object have
In freefall do all objects near Earth's surface have the same acceleration?
Without atmospheric drag, all free falling objects near earth's surface will have the same acceleration. But because of friction with the air (air resistance), the velocity of objects due to that acceleration is limited. The actual velocity is dependent on the surface area of the object relative to its mass. The principle of the parachute is to increase the surface area of a falling object with respect to its mass.
What is the surface of an object?
surface area
How does surface area of an object affect gravity?
increasing the surface area of reactants in a solid form the speed of reaction is increased the contact between the solid reactants or liquids and gas.

How does surface area affect friction?

How mass affect surface area?
Mass has no direct effect on the surface area of an object. You can increase mass without changing anything other property of an object. Volume, Size, and Shape effect surface area.
Does the surface area of an object affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.

What is the surface of an object?
surface area
What is the difference between surface area and area?
Area is usually pertaining to the area of a 2d object but surface is 3d object
How does surface area affect the rate of cooling?
the color of an object will affect the rate of cooling e.g black objects cool down faster than shiny objects, the temperature around the object will also affect the rate of cooling, if the surrounding is cold, a hot object will cool faster than when the surrounding is hot.
How does surface area of an object affect gravity?
increasing the surface area of reactants in a solid form the speed of reaction is increased the contact between the solid reactants or liquids and gas.
The total area of all the surface of an object?
surface area
Does surface area of a falling object affect its motion?
Yes. Think of a glider, and then imagine folding its wings in half.
What is surface area and how you can decrease or increase surface area?
You can increase surface area by spreading the object
