The gravitational force acting on all objects is proportional to their masses. Why, then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object?

Answer»

The acceleration with which a body falls towards earth is constant, i.e., 9.8m/ s2 and independent of the mass of the body. Thus, all the bodies fall with the same acceleration irrespective of their masses. That is why a heavy body does not fall faster than a light object.
