Does the surface area of an object affect how fast it falls?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If an object is flat and it falls it will go against the air (Air-Resistance) when falling down, which it will make the block go slower then a sphere which has no sides and will fall faster then the square or Block because there isn't a flat side it wont go against the air ( Air-Resistance).

No it do not but it uses gravity and falls fast So. The surface do not affect how fast objects fall. Hope this helps:)
