When an object is drop disregarding air resistance does a heavier object take less time to fall or have bigger final velocity?

No, neglecting air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or shape. Galileo was right about this, as proved on the Apollo 15 mission to the moon. An astronaut on the moon (where there is no air) simultaneously dropped a hammer and feather, and they both fell straight down at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time.

Does an object that is in free fall seems to be slowed or speeded by air resistance?
this is a complicated question! initially, air resistance slows objects in free fall down. until a point in which the object reachs terminal velocity! Terminal velocity is when the object is at its maximum speed free falling the air resistance is equal to the acceleration so the object now neither speeds or slows down. also, the bigger the surface area the object has, the higher the air resistance will be, lowering the terminal velocity of the object.
Is a 7MM-08 bigger than a 7.62x39MM?
It's a substantially more powerful cartridge. It does have a smaller bullet diameter than the 7.62x39, but a substantially higher muzzle velocity with a heavier projectile.
Is escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?
Yes.
Which force is bigger the earths pull or air ressistance?
air pressure acts in all directions and the net force is nil, if you move though, air will offer resistance and this force will square with velocity offering staggering resistance at high speeds
Which is heavier a baseball bat or a Fielder's glove?
A baseball bat is bigger and heavier .
Is Neptune bigger or Uranus?
Uranus is a little bit bigger if you measure it with Neptune, but even though Uranus is bigger- Neptune is actually heavier if you measure their weight. Which means even if Uranus is bigger, Neptune is heavier.
