They don't. The basic physics behind the situation says that all objects fall together, regardless of their mass, weight, race, color, creed, national origin, or political affiliation.

In the reral world, especially on Earth, we occasionally see things falling at different rates.

Why do heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects?

Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them


Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?

false


Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?

No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.


In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?

False


Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?

They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.


Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?

Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.


In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects A True b false?

Faulse


Is their any chance that the heavier objects in free fall differ from the lighter objects when it comes to its acceleration?

Yes. The acceleration depends on the aerodynamics of the shapes of the objects - not their mass.

How do falling objects behave?

Falling objects behave in such a way that heavier objects will fall faster than the lighter ones. Try to drop a stone and a feather from the same height and at the same time, the stone will fall to the ground first.


Why does a heavier object fall with the same accelerate as a lighter object?

all objects have a terminal velocity once youu reach terminal velocity you can not fall any faster


Do heavier ojects fall faster than lighter ones?

Set aside air resistance (drag) and the answer is no. Objects fall at the same speed when accelerated by gravity when there is no air resistance.
