Weight affects the amount of lift required to raise the weight. Thrust determines how much power is required to move the weight and at what speed.
If you ignore air resistance, weight has no effect at all.
Yes, weight does affect drag. Heavier objects experience more drag than lighter objects because they displace more air as they move through it, creating more resistance. Increasing weight can increase drag, making it harder to move through a fluid like air or water.

yes but very little
A dusty enviroment can affect our lungs when we breathe it in because the dust particles can get trapped in our lungs which would affect our breathings the particles travel through the the air and we inhale it!
Friction, weight, and air resistance are forces that can slow things down. Friction opposes the motion of objects sliding past each other, weight is the force due to gravity pulling objects downwards, and air resistance is caused by air pushing against objects moving through it. Upthrust, also known as buoyancy, is a force that opposes weight but typically does not slow objects down.
Air, Water, and Light
Yes, however, even air affects how fast something falls. The weight of the water is what causes buoyancy (certain materials to float), and and the resistance of water plays a small role - the weight of the water being the larger role - in what causes other materials to fall slower than they would through air. There are actually certain things that are buoyant in the air, like helium. You will notice that if you let all the air out of your lungs, you will fall down through the water at a certain (very slow) speed. That speed is your terminal velocity through water. The terminal velocity of an average sized human through the air is about 55.6 m/s (200 kph or 124 mph). This speed is obviously much higher than the speed at which something falls through water. So water does affect haw fast something falls. "But wait, certain objects appear to fall through the water at the same speed that they fall through the air!" To explain this, water affects how fast something falls - compared to how fast it falls through the air - depending on its density. The object which you're talking about, is actually falling slower through the water, you just can't tell. We see this property in air too, why do you think a pound of feathers falls much slower than a lead weight?
The weight of the riders does not affect the amount the ride can lift since the system is designed to lift and carry the combined weight of the riders and cars. Air resistance is a factor that the ride must overcome to lift riders into the air.
The rate at which an object falls through air is affected by factors such as its weight, the air resistance acting on it, its shape, and its surface area. Heavier objects generally fall faster due to gravity, while air resistance can slow down the fall of objects with larger surface areas or irregular shapes.
Take a large container, pump out all the air from inside it. Weigh it. Put air inside and then weigh it again. The difference would be the weight of the air inside. Air molecules have mass (air is "stuff") and things with mass have weight when in a gravitational field, such as on Earth. If air didn't have any weight, we wouldn't even have an atmosphere.
