. How do we know that with falling objects (ignoring air resistance) that heavier objects are subjected to a greater gravitational force?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

We don't, because it doesn't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is my next question though... based off this one: How do we know that there is something compensating for this difference in force that gravity exerts on falling objects?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Okay, so if you throw a heavy object and a light object into the air, they would fall down at the same time. It's true! I tried it! I have no idea for the second question though.
