Gravity? The individual who answered gravity obviously never took a physics course.
Two objects of different mass will fall at the same speed since they both accelerate to the Earth's surface at a rate of 9.81 m/s2. So a heavier weight object does not fall faster, assuming that the effects of air resistance are negligible.
What else can I help you with?
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.
Does the increase in weight cause an object to fall faster?
No, the increase in weight does not cause an object to fall faster. In a vacuum, objects of different weights fall at the same rate due to gravity. The rate at which an object falls is primarily determined by the force of gravity acting upon it, not its weight.
How can you fall faster than gravity?
No. If you and say.. A rino fell of a building you both would hit the ground at the same time. So no matter what the weight of something is it always will fall the same speed as something a different wait than it. There is an equation that proves this. However I do not know it.
Does heavier objects fall faster that light ones?
That depends. 10 lbs. of bricks will fall at the same speed as 10 lbs. of feathers. Meanwhile, a cinderblock will fall far faster than a single feather. If two things are the same weight, they will usually fall at the same speed. If two things are different weights, they will fall at different speeds. ^ This only takes effect when wind resistance is NOT added.
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.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.
Why do you fall faster than balloons?
a person would fall faster because we have more mass (weight) than the balloon.

Does a heavy stone fall faster than a light one?
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight, as demonstrated by Galileo's experiment. However, in real-world conditions with air resistance, a heavier object can fall faster because it can overcome air resistance more effectively.
Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
Discovered that heavier objects fall faster than light ones?
Galileo Galilei found out
What ball will fall to the ground faster basketball or soccer ball?
weight doesnt matter, the bigger one, which has the higher resistance will fall a tiny bit slower
Do paper gyrocopters fall faster when the amount of weight is increased on the bottom?
No. All matter falls at the same rate.
Who falls faster when wearing the same size parachute a heavy person or a light person or do they both fall at the same speed?
Both a heavy person and a light person will fall at the same speed when wearing the same size parachute. The rate at which an object falls is determined by gravity, not weight. The parachute helps regulate the descent rate for both individuals.
