Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?

Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.


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


Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?

If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.


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.


Do objects with different masses fall at the same rate?

if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).


Do the object of the same shape but different mass fall at the same rate?

in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction


In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?

no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.


Do objects with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?

In vacuum, yes. Otherwise the object with a lower density will fall more slowly.


Who said that objects fall at the same rate of speed and challenged the teachings of the church?

Galileo said any two objects in a vacuum will fall at the same rate.


Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?

They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.


When dropping objects with different masses which object will land first?

they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass Maryann Saba
