Ball A weighs more because the force of gravity is more according to Newton's equation F=ma, however if air resistance is neglected they will fall at the same rate, thanks to Galileo's experiments.

Ball A weighs more.Howevr both the balls will fall at the same time because the accerelation due to gravity doesn't depend on the mass of the object.Both the balls are acted upon by the same acceleration of 9.8 metres per square second.This fact was proved by Galileo.He dropped 2 stones of different masses from the Tower of Pisa and found that they hit the ground at the same time.Thus he concluded that acceleration due to gravity doesn't depend on the mass of an object.A feather falls slower that a stone dropped from height 'cuz the feather 's surface ares is very large as compared to its mass.But sceintist Robert Boyle foun fout by the means of an experiment that if the feather and the stone are put in a vacuum then both fall at the same time due to zero air resistence.

Weight = Mass * 9.8 (If two balls are on earth.)
Therefore, Ball A must has more weight than ball B definitely.
Then when you drop these two balls to the ground with the same level. Ball A will fall as fast as ball B.

Ball A

Ball A weighs more.
Assuming identical dimensions (and therefore identical air resistance) neither ball will fall faster than the other.

Weight is related to gravity, so depends where these two balls are. One of my testicles hangs slightly lower than the other but the mass is the same. Both dropped by the way.

A weighs more but they will fall at the same rate if they have the exact same shape. Mass doesn't determine your rate of fall, air resistance do

I both ball's were the same materail,ball A would be heavier as for falling, both would be identical in speed

A wheighs more,but A and B will fall with the same speed.
