Why do Heavy Objects Actually Fall Faster?

The video explores the concept of falling objects and how their mass affects their speed of descent. Initially, it discusses Galileo's findings that objects with the same mass fall at the same speed. However, it later explains that heavier objects can fall faster due to shorter collision times. The video uses Newton's law to demonstrate how gravity affects different masses and examines the Earth's acceleration when objects fall. A neutron star is used as an example to show how a massive object can significantly alter collision times. The video concludes with calculations of collision times for various masses, highlighting the minimal difference for small objects but significant changes for massive ones.
