Question

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy objects does not fall faster than a light object?

Answer 1

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. But a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object.

This is because of the reason that

$Acceleration=\frac{Force}{Mass}$

Or

$Force=Acceleration\times Mass$

As force is directly proportional to mass, acceleration is constant for a body of any mass.

Hence, this is the answer.
