Does Mass Matter in Free Fall?

[QUOTE="tomlib, post: 6856071, member: 733497"] Hello. I read on Wikipedia that when a body is in free fall from zero mass, its mass does not matter and two bodies of different weights will fall at the same speed. I think this is not correct. If I consider that the bodies are in a weightless state and the gravitational force will act on them. This force will be as great as the weight of this body. If a greater force acts on something, it will most likely move faster. Is my reasoning correct? [/QUOTE]
