if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).

Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
When dropping objects with different masses which object will land first?
they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass Maryann Saba
Why do all objects fall at the same time?
Because gravity pulls the masses down at the same rate.
Who claimed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects?
Aristotle formed the theory that objects fall at rates relative to their mass. This is not true. Galileo performed the experiment atop the leaning tower of pisa where he dropped 2 balls of different masses and they fell at the same rate (9.81 m/s/s)
Why do some objects fall at a different rate than others?
Objects fall through air at a different rate due to the amount of air resistance. Feathers or dandelion "parachutes" fall at a much slower pace than coins. However there is an experiment called "The coin and the feather". A glass tube about 6cm in diameter has a penny and a penny placed inside before the air is evacuated using a vacuum pump. The tube is then sealed. If the tube is held vertically the coin and feather are both at the bottom. If the tube is then swiftly inverted, so that what was bottom becomes top, the coin and feather are seen to fall at the same rate. Unbelievable unless you actually see it.

Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate

Because gravity pulls the masses down at the same rate.
Do objects of the same mass but of different shape fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction

What happens when identical objects are dropped on planets with different gravitational conditions?
Without the interference of air or any other force, they should fall at the same speed. All objects accelerate at the same rate regarding their masses. To conclude, If this was made in a vacuum they should fall at the same speed but in different conditions it may have different results due to air resistance.
Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?
If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.

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.
Do the object of the same shape but different mass fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
