  1. F=Force

    m1=Mass of object

    m2= mass of Earth

    r=distance between the 2 masses

    g=Gravitational constant

    a=acceleration

     

    The 2 equations are F=ma for falling objects and for the gravitational effect between 2 objects is F=(m1*m2*g)/(r^2)

    Setting those equal to each other

     

    m1*a=(m1*m2*g)/(r^2)

    You can see that m1 or the mass of the object divides out on both sides and has no effect.

    --This is completely generalized for ease of use.

    Air resistance is main reason more massive objects fall faster given sufficient time.
