Gravity and resistance (friction). Friction will only come into play on a fall from a long distance. This will be in the form of air resistance. If you are falling a short distance, gravity is the only force. The fastest you will be able to fall is at a rate of 9.81 ft/s^2.

What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?
The force of gravity will affect the rate of falling in air. As will the aerodynamic shape of the object. And assuming that the air is not moving with or against the direction of fall.
Does velocity effect rate of fall?
That's like asking "Does the loudness of a sound affect its amplitude ?", or"Does the number marked on the tag affect the item's price ?"The rate of fall IS the magnitude of the velocity.
What factors affect the Glass Transition Temperature?
cooling rate
What factors affect an objects rate of fall?
The force of acceleration (gravity) the drag (resistance which is a complex factor including shape, density, surface structure, viscosity of the medium through which the object is falling, etc. )
How does the mass of an object affect the rate of its fall?
It won't affect the rate of fall, which is 9.8m/s2. If you drop a bowling ball and a crumpled ball of paper from the same height, they will land at the same time. The earth's gravity determines the rate of fall. During the Apollo 15 moon landing, a feather and a hammer were dropped from the same height and they landed at the same time. The moon's gravity determined their rate of fall. Refer to the related link to see the demonstration.
