Yes, due to friction, but nothing else.

Do rough objects fall slower than smooth objects?
Yes
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavy objects?
It doesn't. But what makes a book fall faster (seemingly) than a feather or piece of paper (lets say) is air pressure, and the way it is shaped.
Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
Do all objects fall at the same speed down a slope?
no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th

Objects that fall slower have more?
surface area which causes more resistance (assuming object is falling in non- vacuum)

Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects?
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.

What is an incline plane used to move objects from one height to another?
A ramp.
What is 3 objects that are incline planes?
ramps, door stops, and stairs. I think.
What happens when idenical objects are dropped under different gravitational conditions?
The stronger gravitational condition would make the object fall faster. The weaker the gravitational condition the slower the object would fall.
What are synonyms for descent?
fall, drop, plunge, swoop, slope, incline
Do object fly faster or slower in winter?
The objects fly slower during the winter.
