The acceleration depends on the force of gravity. Near Earth's surface, this acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second square.

What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?
No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.
What is the acceleration of falling bodies?
Near Earth's surface, the acceleration is about 9.8 meters/second2, assuming air resistance can be neglected.
What is the conclusion of freely falling bodies?
the world is ending in 2013 hey little kids eat my dust
What are the examples of freely falling bodies?
a rocket which has lost its balance on coming into earth's atmosphere, a ball thrown from a height,etc
What is relative acceleration?
relative acceleration between two bodies in motion is the vector substraction of the acceleration of that bodies.
What is the effect of distance of freely falling bodies from the centre of the earth on gravitational acceleration?

How does the strength of gravity affect acceleration of falling bodies?
All bodies with mass are affected by gravity. Gravity pulls at a rate of 9.8m/s/s

Why does an apple falls down from a tree why dont goes up?
The acceleration of a freely falling body is dependended upon the mass of the two bodies involved, a mass of the apple is nothing, when compared to mass of the earth, so it tends to move downward towards earth.
What is relative acceleration?
relative acceleration between two bodies in motion is the vector substraction of the acceleration of that bodies.
How would the observed value of acceleration be affected if the falling body used were heavier?
Your question describes it as a "falling body", so I'm assuming that you're asking about a body with no force on it except for the gravitational force. This is an important assumption. If it's true, then the mass (weight) of the falling body has no effect at all on its acceleration. Except for the effect of air resistance, all bodies fall with the same acceleration.
