It wasn't a proof, but Galileo put on a pretty convincing demonstration with
the objects he allegedly dropped from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa.

Who proved that objects fall toward the earth at a constant acceleration regardless of their size?
It was first demonstrated by Galileo that objects fall toward the Earth with a constant acceleration, regardless of their size. He did this by means of experiments using various objects which were rolled down inclined planes. He did not, contrary to popular legend, drop various objects off the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Why does objects fall in different speeds?
all objects fall at the same speed because i like ponies
Do solid objects fall with hollow objects at the same speed?
Yes, if they have the same volume.
how do objects fall when there is no air resistance?
In the absence of air resistance (friction) objects will fall at the same speed. Hope this still helps :)
Will objects fall at the same speed if there is no air?
It is rather subtle. In general yes, if there is no air resistance (or any comparable force) all objects will fall down at the same speed. However this is only strictly true if the masses of the objects are small compared to that of the Earth. This is because we generally attach our coordinate system to the Earth, so if the Earth moves upwards we do not measure it, instead appearing to us as if the object fell down quicker. This is just a consequence of a badly chosen reference frame of course. As an example one would not expect a tea cup to fall down at the same speed as the Moon, because the Moon would actually also pull the Earth towards it. Again if we would properly attach our coordinate system to some place that will remain at rest all objects fall with the same speed.

no depening on how heavy it is that's the speed it will go. information by wwtpody:)

Why don't objects fall to earth at the same velocity?
Air resistance of an object can slow its fall. If every object had the same resistance, everything would fall at the same speed.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
Why don't all falling objects fall at the same speed?
The only reason falling objects don't fall at the same speed on Earth is the countering force of wind resistance. Without air, all objects would fall at the same rate, regardless of mass (ex. Galileo's ball experiments, as well as the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon).

Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
What happens to a falling object when the of air resistance the force of gravity?
Falling objects increase their speed as they fall, because their weight (the force of gravity) pulls them to Earth. ... Objects fall faster until they reach their terminal speed, which is reached when the upward (air resistance) and downward (weight)forcesare equal.

Yes, if they have the same volume.

What force makes objects fall to earth?
Gravity.
