The common misconception about heavy/light objects, is the thought that the heavier something is, the faster it falls. This isn't true in any sense. A bowling ball will fall to the ground at the exact same speed as a ping pong ball. It's just things like air resistance and wind affect how we interpret it. Next time nobody's at home, drop a heavy ball and a lighter ball at the same time. They should hit the ground at the same time. The only thing that differs between bouncing objects is the materials the object is made of.
Like I've said in the thread before, a ping pong ball filled with air is going to bounce very differently than a bowling ball. This is because of the object's density and what it is made of. Once you understand what objects are made of, you can gauge how it's bounce will look like, and how it will affect other objects.
You should really look up some basic physics and motion vectors. They can help a lot with understanding the way gravity affects things.
