No, both bricks will fall at the same rate regardless of whether they are tied together or not. This is because the force of gravity acting on an object is only dependent on its mass, not how it is structured.
That only happens when they fall through air. The reason is the friction of the respective bodies plowing through the amount of air that each is in contact with. In the absence of air, bricks and cotton would accelerate at the same rate, reach the same speed at the same time, and hit bottom together.
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.
No, a car does not fall faster than a human. In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, as described by the principle of gravity.
The best way to answer that question is: Because that's the way gravity works. When you think about it, it's really the only way that makes sense. Let's assume that heavy things fall faster, and light things fall slower. Take a heavy thing and a light thing. Tie them together with 3 feet of string, and drop them from a high building. The light thing wants to fall slower, and it holds the heavy thing back. The heavy thing wants to fall faster, and it pulls the light thing ahead. Together, they fall at some speed faster than the light thing alone, but slower than the heavy thing alone. Bu that's crazy. What difference does it make whether they're tied together with string, stuffed in the same bag together, or hooked together with nuts and bolts ? Together, they're even heavier than the heavier thing, but we just said that they're falling slower than the heavier thing would fall alone. It doesn't add up. Heavier things don't fall faster.
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.

a person would fall faster because we have more mass (weight) than the balloon.

no?
The baby teeth of girls usually fall faster than those of the boys.

yes
-- The bricks and the feathers have the same weight.-- The bricks and the feathers have the same mass.-- The feathers have more volume than the bricks.-- The bricks have more density than the feathers.-- Neither the package of bricks nor the package of feathers is edible.-- The bricks definitely sink in water, whereas the feathers may float on water.-- When dropped through air, the feathers fall slower than the bricks, because of air resistance.-- I'm guessing that the feathers cost more than the bricks.
The brick falls faster through the air than loose sand because each grain of sand has to overcome air resistance which is proportionally larger for the small particles.If you put both brick and sand into the same size box then they will fall at the same rate.
The Great Wall of China is an extremely large structure, and bricks can be baked much faster and less expensively than stones can be carved.
A feather would fall faster on Earth than on the Moon due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The Moon has less gravity than Earth, so objects fall more slowly on the Moon.
Storage apples will rot faster than apples freshly picked.Summer apples will generally go bad faster than fall apples.
