is a little weird srry A large rock is much heavier than a small water balloon. Yet, you observe that they fall at a similar rate. Why is this? The larger size of the large rock slows it down to the small water balloon speed. Water balloons change shape so that they can fall faster. The force pulling the large rock down is greater, but it takes more force to move it. The golf ball may be smaller, but it is denser.

Answer:

The force pulling the large rock down is greater, but it takes more force to move it.

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a greater force on the large rock, but it's harder to move because of its large mass. The force on the golf ball is smaller, but it has less mass, so it doesn't take as much force to move it.

So a large force on a large mass will have the same acceleration as a small force on a proportionately small mass.
