If the objects are under free fall near the surface of the Earth, then they are under uniform acceleration due to gravity whose magnitude is 9.8ms-2 .
In general, on the surface of a planet of mass m and radius r the acceleration due to gravity is Gm/r2, where G is Newton's gravitational constant.

Do objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m because of centripetal force?
no because of acceleration
In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects A True b false?
Faulse
When a net force changes an objects motion what is it called?
It is called acceleration.
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects?
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the objects is said to be?
= Terminal velocity =
What happens to the rate at which falling objects accelerate over time?
The rate of acceleration is constant.
What is the force that prevents different objects from falling at the same rate?
acceleration
Acceleration of a falling coin on tower?
The acceleration of falling objects in Earth is about 9.8 m/s2.
What is the acceleration of objects falling towards earth?
1000
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree?
Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
An object is falling at its what if it falls at a constant velocity?
rate of acceleration
Do some objects fall through the air at different rate than the others?
of course ! Yes, due to the effects of air resistance. All falling objects experience the same acceleration from gravity, however.
Formula for acceleration of all objects falling to the earth?
a=change in velocity time
Can anything ever have a downward acceleration greater than g?
Yes, objects can accelerate at a rate greater than "g". Most objects, when falling in the absense of air resisitance, accelerate at a uniform rate of -9.81 m/s^2 (this is under ideal conditions on Earth). Air resistance tends to decrease that acceleration. The classic example of greater than "g" acceleration is a bungee jumper.
How do you calculate the acceleration of falling objects?
Ask around to find out what planet they're falling on.If it's the earth, then the acceleration is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2.
Which would fall with greater acceleration in a vacuum a leaf or a stone?
Assuming by 'fall' we mean undergo the effects of gravity. If the two objects are falling toward the same large mass (ie falling towards Earth) then they would both accelerate at the same rate. This rate happens to be about 9.8 meters per second squared. It is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.
What is the acceleration of a falling abject?
All objects irrespective of their masses in a vacuum where there is no air resistance will fall at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s²
