Of Course Not!! If you drop say a feather... it takes sometimes a while... but if you drop a heavy thing water buckets it take shorter!
But that's because a feather drifts through the air, not because of its weight. If the only factor is gravity (no wind, no friction etc.), all objects fall at the same speed. So a penny and an elephant would hit the ground at the same time.

How long does it it take an object of 4 kg to hit the ground considering another object with a mass of 2 kg took 3 seconds to hit the ground?
Assuming they were in a vacuum, if both objects were dropped from th esame height, then both take the same length of time to reach the ground. All masses fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed in the same period of time, and hit the ground at the same time. Otherwise and if there is an atmosphere or if they are dropped from different heights, you have not presented information; shape and size are the most important factors.
What is meant by a regularly shaped object?
According to Euclidean geometry, that is an object where all the angles are the same and all the sides are the same length.
Is the total distance divided by the time taken an object's speed?
This will be true if the object moves with the same speed (a uniform speed) throughout all the time it is moving.If the object is a bus or train making stops along the way, total distance divided by the total time from a given point to another point is the average speed of the object for that interval.
When does the mass of an object affect the time of its free fall?
Well, friend, the mass of an object doesn't actually affect the time it takes to fall freely. Whether it's a heavy rock or a light feather, they will both fall at the same rate in a vacuum. Isn't that just a lovely reminder of the beauty and simplicity of nature?
Which object has all its faces the same shape?
A cube perhaps?
