Do some objects fall through the air at different rate than the others?

of course !
Yes, due to the effects of air resistance. All falling objects experience the same acceleration from gravity, however.

Why then do some objects fall through the air at different rate than others?
Some may be may be heavier and have more mass than others.
How do all objects fall?
Objects fall through the force of gravity.
Do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
Yes, due to air resistance a rubber ball would fall faster that a sheet of paper. In a vacuum, all things would fall at the same rate.
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.
The acceleration due to gracity of all objescts in free fall is the same Why then do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
The acceleration due to gravity is the same, and in an idealized world all objects would fall at the same rate. But we do not live in an idealized world, there are other forces acting on objects as they fall. The most notable one is drag, the air resistance. This affects each object as it falls, giving them different rates of descent.
Why does objects fall in different speeds?
all objects fall at the same speed because i like ponies
Do different objects fall at different speeds?
Air resistance
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
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.
Why then do some object fall through the air at a different rate than others?
Some may be may be heavier and have more mass than others.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
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.
