if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.
they are slowed by air resistance.

How is the acceleration of an object in free-fall related to the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration in free fall IS the acceleration due to gravity, since "free fall" is the assumption that no forces other than gravity act on the object.
Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its?
Near earth's surface, an object's free fall acceleration is constant.The value is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2. That number is called the 'acceleration of gravity on earth'.
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
How is gravity related to free fall?
Gravity and free fall are similar because they are both a force that pulls objects downward. <><><><><> Gravity is the force that pulls you down. Free fall is when you have no opposing force keeping you up.
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.
What is the definition of free fall?
when the acceleration of the freely falling object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity then there occurs free fall.

Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
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.
When does a body has a positive acceleration during free fall?
When affected by gravity.
What occurs when objects free fall near earth's surface?
Constant acceleration
What is the acceleration rate for falling objects?
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.
