BTW, going uphill isn't exactly falling nor in an environment with no air resistance. If two people are running up hill, one with a 100 lb bag and the other with a 10 lb bag, which of the two do you think gravity will have the most effect on, thus working harder and running uphill slower?
But we are no longer talking about gravitational force in this scenario. Now we are talking about strength. If Dwayne Johnson was carrying the 100lb bag, and Peewee Herman the 10lb, Dwayne Johnson would still be at the advantage.
