Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.

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
Do things fall at the same speed?
Well it really depends on several factors that have to be just right in order for two objects to fall at the same speed or rate.The three main factors needed to calculate the speed at which two objects fall are Time(t) Velocity(v) and Rate of Acceleration.The formula used to calculate is:Acceleration= v-u/t (the v-u is change in velocity)The reason different objects accelerate the same (when you can ignore air resistance!) is because an object with more mass has more weight, but it also has more inertia.
Why did the flat sheet of paper fall at the same rate as the book?
If that's what actually happened, then you must have done the experiment either in a vacuum chamber or else on the moon, where there's no air. When gravity is the only thing around, all objects fall with the same acceleration, speed, and velocity, no matter what shape, size, or mass they have ... a feather and a bowling ball fall together. But when they have to fall through air, that's when heavy things fall faster.
What is earth's acceleration of gravity?
Acceleration of gravity states that all objects, no matter what the size, will fall at the same rate. This is the rate at which objects free-fall.
Is it true that given no air resistance all objects near the Earth's surface regardless of size and weight fall with the same acceleration because of gravity?
True

Will objects of different mass but the same size and shape fall at the same rate?
In the absence of any other force on them other than the force of gravity, all objects, regardless of their mass, size, shape, density, color, creed, or religious, political, or gender affiliation, fall with the same acceleration. That means that with equal initial velocities, their velocities are all the same after falling for equal times.
Do objects of different weights but similar size and shape fall to the ground at the same rate?
Yes. In the absence of air, it doesn't even matter how their shapes and sizes compare.
Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?
Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.

How far different size ball will roll if they are let go at the same spot on a hill?
If two round objects roll down a hill, the one with the greater mass will roll faster. If they are dropped they will fall at the same rate.
Do all objects of same mass but of different shapes fall at the same time?
No, there is an air resistance which resists its motion. it depends on the shape and size of the object.
Does the mass effect the time taken for objects rolling down a slope?
Galileo dropped two different sized objects from the tower of Pisa and they both hit the ground at the same time. The object was to prove that the size/weight (i.e. mass) of the object would not affect the rate of fall.
What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?
In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.

What was galileos major influence?
I would say science. He did the objects fall at the same rate thing, or at least proved that weight make no difference between a tiny rock and a big one when dropped from the same height. He also applied the telescope to astronomical observation, discovering the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn in addition to showing these objects had size and were not points like the stars.
