On Earth, all massive objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration - although air resistance affects different objects differently, so a feather accelerates more slowly than a hammer. But, as was famously demonstrated on the Moon, in a vacuum, both will fall in exactly the same time.

In free fall all objects fall with the same acceleration?
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
What is the word that causes all objects to fall at different speeds?
In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. That means that at the same time after the drop, all objects are moving at the same speed.
How do two objects fall at the same speed?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, ALL objects fall with the same acceleration near the surface of the earth, meaning that any two objects dropped at the same time will have the same velocity after the same time interval.
If you removed air resistance would objects fall with constant acceleration?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.
Do all objects fall to earth at the same time?
Gravity causes all objects to fall to earth at the same time. (some objects do not like paper and yarn because of air resistance. but if you block the air resistance by placing it on a book and dropping, it will fall at the same time. Or if you reduce surface area) Gravity causes all objects to fall with an acceleration of 9.8m/s*2
When there is no air friction all objects fall with the same?
With the same acceleration.

In free fall do all objects fall with the same acceleration?
yes, objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/swith acceleration. For every second in free fall you must add 9.8m/s to get the acceleration of an object.

Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.
What is the force called that makes all objects fall at different speed?
That's called the "force of imagination".In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. At equal times after the drop, all objectsare falling at the same speed.
What object would fall faster a rock or a pencil?
All objects fall universally with the same acceleration: 9.8 m/s squared.
Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?
Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'
The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.
