No, it will decrease in magnitude until the wind drag force is equal to the object's weight. Therefore it will reach a maximum velocity (speed) that it will maintain until it hits something.
When in free fall, ALL objects have the SAMEacceleration of ~9.8 m/s2. This means that for every second that passes, the velocity of an object in free fall will increase 9.8 m/s more. This is when neglecting drag force from air which at the beginning of
the fall is small.
As the object increases its velocity, drag force becomes important and will increase
with the objects velocity until is equal to the object's weight. During this time the
acceleration of the object is reduced in magnitude down to zero (when drag force
is equal to the object's weight) and the velocity has reached a maximum that stays
now constant.

Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
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.
Is their any chance that the heavier objects in free fall differ from the lighter objects when it comes to its acceleration?
Yes. The acceleration depends on the aerodynamics of the shapes of the objects - not their mass.
In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
False
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
In free fall do all objects fall with the same acceleration?
yes, objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/swith acceleration. For every second in free fall you must add 9.8m/s to get the acceleration of an object.
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false

In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
False
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.
What occurs when objects free fall near earth's surface?
Constant acceleration
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
When there is no air friction all objects fall with the same?
With the same acceleration.
Which point is has the maximum acceleration in the free fall?
objects c.g side
Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?
Yes, that is correct.
If you removed air resistance would objects fall with constant acceleration?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.
