Want this question answered?
Mass does not determine the rate something will fall. The rate of acceleration is constant as gravity, regardless of mass.
acceleration
rate of acceleration
acceleration encountered by an object in free fall is 'g' or 9.8 m/s2
No. An object in free-fall accelerates at a constant rate of acceleration.Its speed grows at a constant rate.

Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
During constant acceleration, either the object's speed changes at a constant rate, or the direction of its motion changes at a constant rate, or both.

rate of acceleration
The velocity increases at a constant rate.

No. An object in free-fall accelerates at a constant rate of acceleration.Its speed grows at a constant rate.
Constant acceleration
If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.
Speed - is something moving at a constant rate. Acceleration is an increase of the rate an object is moving.
