What is the word that causes all objects to fall at different speeds?
In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. That means that at the same time after the drop, all objects are moving at the same speed.
Do all objects fall to earth at the same time?
Gravity causes all objects to fall to earth at the same time. (some objects do not like paper and yarn because of air resistance. but if you block the air resistance by placing it on a book and dropping, it will fall at the same time. Or if you reduce surface area) Gravity causes all objects to fall with an acceleration of 9.8m/s*2
Is it possible for light objects to fall first than heavy objects?
All objects will reach the ground when dropped or when they fall at approximately the exact same time except for paper.
Why does objects fall in different speeds?
all objects fall at the same speed because i like ponies
Do all objects fall to the Ground at the same rate?
They do if the only force acting on them is gravity. If there's any difference in the way two different objects fall, it's the effect of air resistance. If it were only up to gravity alone, then all objects would fall to the ground with the same acceleration. They would have the same speed after the same amount of time, and if they're dropped together, they would hit the ground at the same exact time.

In free fall all objects fall with the same acceleration?
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
How do two objects fall at the same speed?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, ALL objects fall with the same acceleration near the surface of the earth, meaning that any two objects dropped at the same time will have the same velocity after the same time interval.
When there is no air friction all objects fall with the same?
With the same acceleration.
Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
All objects fall with the same acceleration?
On Earth, all massive objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration - although air resistance affects different objects differently, so a feather accelerates more slowly than a hammer. But, as was famously demonstrated on the Moon, in a vacuum, both will fall in exactly the same time.
Do objects of the same mass but of different shape fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
Why do different objects in free fall not all fall at the same rate when you test it?
Without air resistance or other forces (other than gravity, that is), falling objects will accelerate at the same rate, and they will take the same time to fall a certain distance. If this is not the case, then the most likely cause is there IS air resistance.
