No. All objects fall with the same acceleration in a vacuum. As time goes on, the speed
keeps increasing, but the increase is the same for all objects.
======================================
Other contributors bloviated:
(If there were no other mass) it would remain unchanged. All bodies (all mass) attracts each other. Any body, including a ball, has mass. It is attracted to other masses and they to the ball. A large mass, such as our sun, pulls that ball towards the sun, and the sun will be affected by the mass of the ball. The effect/affect is slight, but in theory there is mutual attraction. This affect/effect is also true for the mass in the air.
However, a question remains. If there had been a mass, in this case a ball, and it were in a different position from one moment to another (as it is falling), does the mass from a previous moment affect the new position? Do any of the particles (which have mass) affect the same particle's) as it moves?

What is the largest velocity reached by falling object?
The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 kilometers/second. This is also the speed that an object would reach if it fell onto Earth's surface from far, far away ("infinity" is often used, to simplify calculations) - without air resistance, and without interference by other objects that might also attract it.The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 kilometers/second.

Will objects fall at the same speed if there is no air?
It is rather subtle. In general yes, if there is no air resistance (or any comparable force) all objects will fall down at the same speed. However this is only strictly true if the masses of the objects are small compared to that of the Earth. This is because we generally attach our coordinate system to the Earth, so if the Earth moves upwards we do not measure it, instead appearing to us as if the object fell down quicker. This is just a consequence of a badly chosen reference frame of course. As an example one would not expect a tea cup to fall down at the same speed as the Moon, because the Moon would actually also pull the Earth towards it. Again if we would properly attach our coordinate system to some place that will remain at rest all objects fall with the same speed.
What would happen if two objects fell at the same time with no air resistance?
If two objects on the same planet are dropped from the same place at the same time and there is no air resistance, they fall with the same acceleration, and they hit the ground at the same time with the same speed. Their size, mass, weight, temperature, color, political affiliation, race, creed, or sexual orientation make no difference.
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)
Who found out about gravity?
Answer:Issac newton found out about gravity during the early 16th century. But modern work in gravitational theory began with the work of Galileo Galilei during the late 16th - early 17th century. In his famous experiment of dropping balls down the tower of pisa, and later with careful measurements of balls rolling down inclines. Galileo showed that gravitation accelerates objects at the same rate. Galileo correctly postulated air resistance as the reason that lighter objects may fall more slowly in an atmosphere. I really hope this helps:)The first animal that fell out of a tree, long before people existed.However, Sir Issac Newton formalized the description.
Aristotle believed that all objects fell to earth at the same rate of speed?
You have not asked a question.

What fell off of the Titanic after it was in the water?
Many things fell off of Titanic after she was in the water, ranging from personal items to lots of unused coal to large objects like the boilers and the funnels.

Who found Yoshi luigi did he found him on Yoshi island and found him?
No. While Yoshi was taking a peaceful stroll, Mario fell on his back.
How do you unstick a craftsman snow blower speed shifter lever?
snowblower model 944528394 sears craftsman speed shifter fell off, and needs to be reattached
Why did Galileo perform his free fall experiment?
To find out whether the weight of the object changed the speed at which it fell.
What was Sir Isaac Newton's link to gravity?
The apple that fell on his head.Then he found out.
