In general objects with a greater diameter, do travel faster. (angular velocity times radius).
However, if the object with the larger diameter has a greater mass, it also has greater inertia. In a small amount of time, the objects' differences in diameter and inertia can balance out.
I hope this helps.

Gravity and Inertia i assumed about this. once you've a loose falling merchandise, you recognize the way briskly it positive aspects momentum, and it is going to proceed to attain that momentum until eventually slowed by technique of friction. If there's no friction then the motorcar ought to proceed to boost up on the speed of wich an merchandise selections up speed because of the gravitational pull of the earth.
