Do Heavy Objects Actually Fall Faster Than Light Objects

The video explores whether heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, using experiments and scientific principles. It demonstrates that, in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate due to gravity, regardless of mass. Air resistance affects falling speed, with lighter objects experiencing more drag. The concept of terminal velocity is explained, showing how different objects reach different speeds. The video concludes with a thought experiment on resultant forces, emphasizing the importance of considering all forces acting on a falling object.

How does the size and shape of an object influence its falling speed?

What factors determine the terminal velocity of a falling object?
