Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, ALL objects fall with the same acceleration near the surface of the earth, meaning that any two objects dropped at the same time will have the same velocity after the same time interval.

∙ 13y agoAcceleration due to gravity is constant on all objects. If air resistance is neglected, then two objects will fall at the same rate, no matter what their mass. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is 9.8 meters per second per second, or about 32 feet per second per second.

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.
How does gravity affect objects falling at the same time?
Two objects falling at the same time will fall with the same speed (assuming they both have similar shape and density)
Do things fall at the same speed?
Well it really depends on several factors that have to be just right in order for two objects to fall at the same speed or rate.The three main factors needed to calculate the speed at which two objects fall are Time(t) Velocity(v) and Rate of Acceleration.The formula used to calculate is:Acceleration= v-u/t (the v-u is change in velocity)The reason different objects accelerate the same (when you can ignore air resistance!) is because an object with more mass has more weight, but it also has more inertia.
Does heavier objects fall faster that light ones?
That depends. 10 lbs. of bricks will fall at the same speed as 10 lbs. of feathers. Meanwhile, a cinderblock will fall far faster than a single feather. If two things are the same weight, they will usually fall at the same speed. If two things are different weights, they will fall at different speeds. ^ This only takes effect when wind resistance is NOT added.
When two objects vibrate at the same speed what occurs?
resonance

What must be absent for two objects of drastically different masses to fall at the exact same speed if they rely only on gravity?
air resistance
Two masses fall 3 meters to the ground. If friction is neglected when do they reach the ground?
both masses have the same speed. The acceleration of objects in freefall is independent of mass, resulting in the same speed at the end of a fall. The momentum and energy are proportional to the mass.

Do all objects fall to the Ground at the same rate?
They do if the only force acting on them is gravity. If there's any difference in the way two different objects fall, it's the effect of air resistance. If it were only up to gravity alone, then all objects would fall to the ground with the same acceleration. They would have the same speed after the same amount of time, and if they're dropped together, they would hit the ground at the same exact time.
Who said all objects fall at the same rate of speed?
Gallelio, when he dropped two stones of unequal weight from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa.
What two objects with the same velocity must be moving the same?
They would be traveling at the same speed. Two objects moving with the same velocity must be moving in the same direction and at the same speed. The reason for this is because velocity is speed in a specified direction. Another way to say that is to say that velocity is speed with a direction vector. It is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction. Two objects moving with the same speed could be moving toward a head-on collision. Or they could be moving along convergent, divergent or skewed paths. Not so with two objects that have identical velocities. They are moving on the same or on parallel courses, and they are moving at the same speed.

When two objects fall the same distance which reaches the ground first the greater or lesser mass?
