it dosent, because if you drop 2 objects at the same mass and weight from really high up then they will land at the same time. This is because the weight of the object doesnt matter, only the force of gravity.

Is there a maximum speed of a free falling object?
yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object
Does the weight of an object affect the falling speed?
f =V x m x a
What is the rate of deceleration in air?
That depends on the size, shape, and weight of the falling object, and also on its instantaneous falling speed ... that is, the rate of deceleration is not constant.
What are the forces on a falling object are balanced and the object falls with constant speed?
The forces are balanced because they are falling at a constant speed. According to Newtons first law of motion an object will keep moving unless an unbalanced or net force acts upon it. If we may step in here for the novel purpose of answering the question . . . The balanced forces on an object that is falling with constant speed are typically the force of gravity (the object's 'weight') and the equal and opposite force of air resistance.
Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
Is there a maximum speed of a free falling object?
yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object
Who founded experimentally that the speed of a falling object is not proportional to its weight?
Galileo Galilei
Does the weight of an object affect the falling speed?
f =V x m x a
The gratest velocity a falling objects reaches?
The greatest speed a falling object is known as its terminal velocity. At this speed, the drag force from the air is equal to the object's weight, and so there is no net force to accelerate the object further.
What is the rate of deceleration in air?
That depends on the size, shape, and weight of the falling object, and also on its instantaneous falling speed ... that is, the rate of deceleration is not constant.
Does weight affect speed?
It depends... the object could be falling, going straight, going uphill or going downhill.
Is the speed and acceleration of which an object fall always the same?
Without air in the picture, gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at the same rate, and grow their speed by the same amount after the same amount of time, regardless of their size, mass, or weight. We never see this in daily life, because anything we see falling is falling through air. The effect of air resistance on a falling object depends on the object's weight, size, shape, and speed, so its behavior in response to gravity alone is obscured.
What are the forces on a falling object are balanced and the object falls with constant speed?
The forces are balanced because they are falling at a constant speed. According to Newtons first law of motion an object will keep moving unless an unbalanced or net force acts upon it.

What is the fastest free falling object known to man-is it a rain drop which is liquid or a solid object like a bb?
Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?
