Not necessarily. It depends on their rate of friction, which impacts how fast they will accelerate downwards. This is why a Golf ball or tennis ball will fall faster than a leaf or a piece of paper.

No


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 thing fall at the same rate?

Because the gravity is the same. this does not explain why real heavy objects fall at the same rate as light ones since the more mass their is their is supposed to be more gravity.....also how does space/time warped space affect such things as the falling apple


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

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.


Do things with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?

In vacuum, neither mass nor density will make any difference. Otherwise, air resistance becomes relevant and objects with lower density fall lower.


What is true about a object that is in a free fall?

That it will always fall at the same rate no matter how hight you are


Why do all things fall at the same rate with no air resistance?

Because that's the way gravity works. It's up to you to explain why you feel that they shouldn't.


Why will a feather and an apple fall at the same rate in a vacuum?
