Best Answer

Whether an object falls quickly or slowly basically depends on its mass, and its air resistance. More mass will have the tendency to make things fall faster; more air resistance will have the tendency to slow it down. The air resistance depends, to a great extent, on the object's surface area; however, the shape of the object also plays a role.
