What happens in a vacuum between two objects of different masses?
There will be a gravitational force of attraction between them, but this would be the same in a vacuum as it would be in any other place.
Which of the following objects would be most affected by air resistance when falling?
bowling ball
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.
How does air resistance affect a falling helicopter?
the same that it would affect any falling object. The higher the air resistance the thicker the air density. This will result in a higher drag coefficient and will slow the fall of the object.
Found all objects fell at the same rate of speed in a vacumm?
No. All objects fall with the same acceleration in a vacuum. As time goes on, the speedkeeps 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?
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects?
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.

Describe a place where a falling object would feel less drag than it would in your classroom?
A falling object would have less drag than in a classroom in a low pressure environment (higher up) or in a space or a vacuum, but then it's not really falling. Hope this clarifies.
How would the gravity of mars affect the landing of a spacecraft?
Does mars' gravity affect other objects. yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon.
What is the meaning of Free Falling?
Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity
What scientific principle would have to exist for two objects to fall at the same time if one object has a parachute?
A vacuum.
Why would a feather drop from the same height as an acorn fall to Earth more slowly than acorn?
feathers are believed to be of a lesser weight than that of an acorn neglegting air resistance and the influence of gravity on the falling objects. Consider: if both were dropped inside of a vacuum they would reach the earth at the same time.

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
Why is the sun responsible for people's ability to see other objects within the solar system?
The Sun's light, falling on other objects, allows people to see planets and other objects, which would be dark otherwise.
