What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?

In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.

How can an object with a large mass have the same acceleration as a an object with an small mass?
The large mass can have proportionately more force applied to it than to the smaller mass.
Which of these would you expect to require the most force increasing acceleration of a small mass or decreasing acceleration of a small mass?
Any amount of force, no matter how large or small, will increase or decrease the speed of any mass, no matter how large or small. But if you specify how much you want the object's speed changed and how quickly you want it done, then you have specified the acceleration you want. In that case, the larger the mass is, the more force it will take to accomplish that assignment.
What would be easier to move a large empty box or a small heavy box?
an object's acceleration depends on the object's mass and the force applied to it. the lager the force applied to it.
What is easier to grasp a large object or a small object?
Small object.
Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?
The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
Does a greater buoyant act on a large object or a small object?
Larger object.
How can a large object float in the water while a small object sinks?
the large object spreads the water out more evenly over it's area because it's large while the small object has less space to do so.
Are acceleration due to gravity on small stone and big stone equal?
Acceleration due to gravity is the same for every object on or near Earth.
How big is a large object?
It's relative to what you define as a small object.
Does a greater buoyant forces act on a large object or a small object?
a larger object
Why does a large object absorb and emit radiation faster than a small object?
Because of the large object has more surface area.
What is the Formula for Force required to accelerate an object to a predetermined speed?
There is no specific force required to accelerate an object to a predetermined speed. A smaller force will produce a smaller acceleration, so it will take longer to reach the desired speed. A larger force will produce a larger acceleration, so the desired speed will be reached sooner. But either the large or the small force, or any other force, will produce an acceleration, and cause the object to reach the specified speed sooner or later.
