If dominoes are placed in a straight line will they fall faster than dominoes that are scattered?

I think you should try and see it by yourself.
Now it depends on the size and shape of dominoes.

Scattered dominoes may not apply the full force to the one ahead due to the angle of contact.
The straight lines would fall faster.

No, it depends on the distance between the dominos, smaller the distance, faster it'll fall on the next one.

The falling of dominoes should be the same.No matter they are placed in straight line or scattered.It is because they accelerate constantly downwards due to gravitation force.They will all accelerate downwards with an acceleration of 9.81m/s^2.

If you throw a handful of dominoes in the air and a wheelbarrow full of bricks at the same time.Some of both will hit you in the head at the same time. You will no longer be so confused.

Depends- If straightline means one to one then it will be slower then scattered with one to many if you are looking for quantity of interactions.
If you look for speed then distance between them.
If you look for rate of falling each will fall at the same relative rate to gravity.
Hope that helps.

I think the gravity determines the speed.
