The heavier a ball is the faster it fall and the faster it will roll down a ramp?

Yes, that is true because of kinetic energy, If something is heavy and you roll it down fast, then kinetic energy builds up.
All other things being equal the mass of the ball has no effect on its acceleration. A fact discovered by Galileo.

Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
What falls faster a golf ball or ping pong ball?
In vacuum (no air) they both fall the same rate. In air, the golf ball falls faster because air resistance slows down the very light ping pong ball
Will a heavier football go further?
No the weight of the ball will slow it down then gravity will take hold and it will fall to the ground
Why are bowling balls heavy?
So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.
Why do heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects?
Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them
how to test if parachutes fall faster or slower when the person is heavier?
.
When does the mass and or size of an object affect the time of its free fall?
if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster
What travels faster a large or small ball?
Depends on its mass. It takes more force to accelerate a heavier ball, but a lighter one is more affected by air resistance.
How does the mass of a toy car affect how far it will roll before stopping when it rolls down atrack at an incline?
When things are heavier they fall faster. The faster something goes the longer it takes to stop.
Do the ball fall faster than a lowest mass?
no?
What was Aristotle's theory about gravity?
aristotle's theiry of gravity was the heavier the object the faster it will fall.
Which can fall faster a pillow or a soccer ball?
a piece of pie
