The bowling ball isn’t falling to the earth faster. The higher perceived acceleration is due to the earth falling toward the bowling ball.

    That’s a trick question. Feathers have lower density than bowling balls; a ton of feathers would have a larger volume compared to the same mass in bowling ball, thus the feathers are heavier

      Why does a larger volume mean the feathers are heavier?

          So a beach ball weights more than a bowling ball?

              If they have the same mass they weigh the same until you blow up the beach ball and are weighing the beach ball + the air inside.
