Two things affect the balls while falling - Gravity and Air Resistance.

Gravity affects both balls equally.

Air resistance exerts a similar force on objects of the same size and shape. A Foam ball weighs less so the same amount of air resistance causes a larger slowing effect on a light foam ball than it does on a heavy rubber ball.
