They fall as described in school textbooks, i.e., "ignoring air resistance...". Specifically, if they are falling down, their speed will increase by 9.8 meters/second every second (assuming Earth gravity).

Who said that objects fall at the same rate of speed and challenged the teachings of the church?
Galileo said any two objects in a vacuum will fall at the same rate.
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.
How do objects in free fall in a vacuum accelerate?
Because in air there is gravity which can make that to accerelate
Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Do hevey objects fall faster than light objects?
Not in a vacuum. All objects, regardless or mass, density, or whatever, fall with the same speed in a vacuum. Some objects may appear to fall more slowly than others (example, a flat piece of paper or a feather vs. a rock), but this is usually due to air resistance. All objects, when falling on earth, accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters/seconds squared.
How does a vacuum affect the rate at which objects fall?
It slows them down
Who found that all objects fall at the same rate of speed in a vacuum?
Galileo

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
How do gravity affect any pair of objects?
the object with the greater mass will fall to the ground first. if you think of a hammer and a feather the hammer will obviously fall first. unless your in a vacuum. then the objects fall at an equal rate!

Do objects with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?
In vacuum, yes. Otherwise the object with a lower density will fall more slowly.
What scientific principle would have to exist for two objects to fall at the same time if one object has a parachute?
A vacuum.
Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?
Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'
