Question

Objects fall at different rates due to:

a
mass
b
weight
c
air resistance
d
inertia
Bot
The correct answer is (c) air resistance. Objects fall at different rates due to the resistance provided by the surrounding air. The amount of air resistance depends on the shape, size, and speed of the falling object. This is why a feather falls slower than a stone of the same size, shape, and mass, because air resistance has a greater effect on lighter objects.
