Does the increase in weight cause an object to fall faster?
yes, weight plays a role in how fast an object can fall
Does the Feather and stone falls at the same speed due to earths gravity and zero air resistance and the gravitational force is the same for the feather and the coin?
A feather and a stone do not fall at the same rate. The feather falls at a slower rate because a feather is subject to the effects of air resistance (it's air resistance to weight ratio is small. A stone has a large air resistance to weight ratio) . The feather may also be subject to blowing winds. Think of 2 pieces of wood. One is 10 lbs and is a sheet, the other is 5 lbs and a block. The weight does not change how fast they fall but the resistance to the air does and so the 10lb sheet of wood takes longer to fall.
Why does a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?

Once used to stop a fall, it can never be reused. The lanyard connects your body harness to a designated anchor point that should be rated to hold at least three times the maximum amount of weight that might fall on it. A lanyard is sometimes called your life line because it can literally save your life..

How to Fit a Fall Harness?

If you make the harness too tight, then you won't be able to get yourself out of it if you do fall. Your weight will put enough pressure on the buckles that will make them impossible to adjust.
