According to newton's law of gravitation, earth's gravitional force is higher on an object of larger mass. why doesn't that object fall down with higher velocity as compared to an object with lower mass?

case 1
the argument that u put fort is correct if we consider the objects are falling in presence of air because of the air resistance objects of lower mass will fall slowly when compared to a heavy mass

case2
but if we consider vacuum where there is no air resistance all the objects irrespective of their mass fall with same velocity in same time

example
this is proved by galelio in his experiment of a feather and a cannon ball
where in first case with air the cannon ball fell down faster
but in the second case the feather and the cannon ball fell down in the same time

hope this helps u
