A heavy object does not fall faster than a light object because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, but the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects.

The force of gravity is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant, and it is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared on Earth.

This means that a heavy object will experience a greater force of gravity than a light object, but it will also have a greater inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. A heavy object has more inertia than a light object, so it will be more difficult to accelerate.

The net result is that a heavy object and a light object will fall at the same rate.

This has been experimentally verified many times, including by Galileo Galilei, who dropped two objects of different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the 16th century.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, if the air resistance is significant, then a heavier object will fall slightly slower than a lighter object. However, in the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate.
