Something thrown in the air is affected by two factors: friction and gravity.
Friction from the air, wind and whatever is in the air (such as dust) will slow it down making it decelerate from the direction it is moving.
Gravity will cause the item to descend (move downwards). If moving upwards, it will slow down and then start moving downwards. It will accelerate downward at the rate of about 32 feet per second squared, or 32 feet per second per second.
That means that an object (standing still) will be moving downwards at 32 feet per second after one second, at 64 feet per second after two second, 96 feet per seconds downwards after 3 seconds, and so on. It does not matter how heavy the item is.
