Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?

The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.

Which of these would you expect to require the most force increasing acceleration of a small mass or decreasing acceleration of a small mass?
Any amount of force, no matter how large or small, will increase or decrease the speed of any mass, no matter how large or small. But if you specify how much you want the object's speed changed and how quickly you want it done, then you have specified the acceleration you want. In that case, the larger the mass is, the more force it will take to accomplish that assignment.
Do small objects have more or less gravity than large objects?
The gravity depends on the mass.
Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane- a large ball or a small ball?
If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.
Do objects with large amounts of charge have bigger electric fields than objects with small amounts of charges?
of course
How do the accelerations compare if the same force is exerted first is on the large mass and then on a small mass?
Gravitationally, the same force does not affect a small mass and a large mass.The small mass is acted upon by a smaller gravitational force, and the large massis acted upon by a larger gravitational force. The result is that the small mass andthe large mass fall with the same acceleration, and meet the ground with the samespeed. During the fall, onlookers typically nudge each other and remark to each other:"My word! The large mass weighs more than the small mass!" They are correct in theirimpression, and the scientific reason behind their perspicacious observation is the factthat the gravitational force acting on the large mass is greater than the gravitationalforce acting on the small mass.
Do small objects have more gravity than large objects?
large objects do my names JC
Do small or large hearts beat faster?
small
Does water evaporate faster from a large opening or a small opening?
Water evaporate faster from a large opening.
What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?
In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.

Which germinates faster a small lima bean or a large bean?
small
Do small objects have more or less gravity than large objects?
The gravity depends on the mass.
How does mass of an object affects it's acceleration?
It depends on the force. The acceleration due to gravity (for small objects) is essentially independent of mass, although air friction may be worse for very small objects. If, however, you have a constant force. F = MA Force = Mass * Acceleration. Divide each side by mass and you get: Acceleration = (Force / Mass) So, for constant force, the more mass an object has, the less acceleration. Or, you could say that for constant force, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.
Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.
Which one moves faster across the cell membrane the large or the small?
Small particles move faster across the membrane.
Is Acceleration due to gravity is uniform and independent of mass?
Yes. All masses large and small, at the same location, exhibit the same acceleration of gravity.
Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane a large ball or a small ball?
If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.
