    The true statement is - the more massive an object, the faster its acceleration of gravity

    If the object is massive then the acceleration of gravity is faster, such objects will free fall more quickly than lighter objects. The objects in free fall do not experience air resistance are all true statements because the force of gravity which depends upon weight.

    It is directly proportional to the weight. Yet the mass and weight are not same because mass is only value in kilograms but the weight is the value in which mass and gravitational acceleration are included. However, its unit is kilograms - 2 which is equal to Newton law of formula which is also unit of force.

    Objects in free-fall do not experience air resistance.

    Explanation:

    This comes from the definition of free-fall: an object in free fall is an object which is falling and the only force acting on it is gravity. Therefore, air resistance is not present for an object in free-fall. As a result, the acceleration of any object in free-fall is always equal to g (gravitational acceleration), and so all the objects fall with the same velocity and same time, regardless of their mass.
