Question

Gravitational force acts on all the objects in proportion to their masses. Then why does a heavy object not fall faster?

Answer 1

1. All objects fall from the top with a constant acceleration called acceleration due to gravity (g).
2. This is constant on earth and therefore the value of ‘g’ doesn’t depend on the mass of an object.

Hence, heavier objects don’t fall quicker than lightweight objects provided there’s no air resistance.
