simply yes because f= m/a or acceleration= mass/ force. Therefore the bigger the mass, the greater the acceleration.

The answer is flawed. It assumes the disproved Aristotelian theory of gravity that objects fall at a speed proportional to their mass.
Yes - there will be more force acting on the heavier skier but the force is acting on a heavier mass. The acceleration (how fast they speed up) is a constant.
Think of it this way:
F=m·a
if you apply 1 N of force to 1 kg of mass, it will accelerate at 1 m/s². After 2 seconds it will be going 2 m/s.
If you apply the same force to 2 kg of mass, it will only accelerate at ½ m/s² but if you double the force it will accelerate at 1 m/s² and after 2 seconds it will also be going 2 m/s.
This is the principle demonstrated by the legendary experiment where Galileo supposedly dropped two weights of different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. (He probably only described the experiment as a thought experiment to illustrate the principle to students - but others have actually done the drop and gotten the expected results)

What light grows plants faster blue artificial light or red artificial light?
If you use blue light in the day and red light at night it should grow twice as fast but, I would use red.
How long would a person survive in 137 degrees Celsius?
Without some heavy-duty protective gear, you don't have a chance.
What would a graph of a person being pushed by a constant unbalanced force look like?
Presumably this graph would register velocity vs. time. Presuming velocity on the y-axis and time on the x-axis, the graph would look like a half parabola. The person would accelerate infinitely. The key is that the force is "unbalanced." A person falling reaches equilibrium, ie. terminal velocity, when the upward force of wind resistance equals the downward force of gravity. Without some check to the acceleration, the person would accelerate faster and faster, forever.This is, of course, a purely hypothetical supposition. There is no such situation where this would occur. Even a person falling into a black hole would have a finite fall.
Would Sprite Fanta Or Coke dissolve faster when a skittle is put in?
A skittle would dissolve faster in Coke.
Would an obese person be more or less sensitive to temperature change?
They would be more sensitive to heat and less to cold. The fat in your body acts as a 'coat' or jacket would. Imagine wearing heavy coat in the summer.
Does a banana rot faster in the light or in the dark?
It rots faster in the light.
Would people be light or heavy on the surface of Jupiter?
Heavy.
What is the opposite word of heavy?
The antonym for "heavy" would be "light."
Does the surface of a hill effect how fast a ball will roll down it?
Ir probably goes down faster if its heavier. If the ball was as light as a balloon, would it go faster? OF course not. So, a heavy ball would go MUCH faster down a hill.
What is a light and heavy weight for a mtb bike?
below 20 lbs would be light and above 30 would be heavy for an XC MTB.
Is a igneous rock light or heavy?
inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia
Would a fatter person land faster than a skinny person?
fatter person land faster
Would you concider this heavy weight - 4.6?
No That is Deffenatly Not Heavy That is very light
Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
What is faster a heavy toy car or a light toy car?
Generally, a light toy car is expected to be faster than a heavy toy car. The lighter weight reduces friction and allows for quicker acceleration. However, other factors like the design, wheels, and propulsion mechanism can also influence the speed of the toy cars.
What is an example Acceleration?
when a car stops at a stop sign or light would be acceleration when a person pedals faster on their bike when a person stops to take a brake while running
What stops first a heavy object or a light one?
A light object has less momentum than a heavy object. A light object would stop first.
