Why do some objects fall through the air at a diffrent rate then others?

The terminal velocity will depend on the mass (greater mass = more terminal velocity) and on the air resistance, which depends greatly on the surface are (more surface area = less terminal velocity).
2nd Answer:
I believe that objects of differing mass fall at the same rate if you exclude air resistance. I remember the penny and the feather in an evacuated cylinder hitting the cylinder bottom at exactly the same time.

How do all objects fall?
Objects fall through the force of gravity.
What is the type of friction that occurs when objects fall through the air?
Air resistance is.
What things fall through?
Contracts, both social and legalDeal NegotiationsPlansLoan ApplicationsMore literally, objects may fall through other objects.Other comparisons include:People fall through cracks (in society's safety net)water (or other liquids) falling through a sievewords fall through people
Why do some objects fall at a different rate than others?
Objects fall through air at a different rate due to the amount of air resistance. Feathers or dandelion "parachutes" fall at a much slower pace than coins. However there is an experiment called "The coin and the feather". A glass tube about 6cm in diameter has a penny and a penny placed inside before the air is evacuated using a vacuum pump. The tube is then sealed. If the tube is held vertically the coin and feather are both at the bottom. If the tube is then swiftly inverted, so that what was bottom becomes top, the coin and feather are seen to fall at the same rate. Unbelievable unless you actually see it.
Do all objects fall at the same speed down a slope?
no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th

Why then do some objects fall through the air at different rate than others?
Some may be may be heavier and have more mass than others.
Do some objects fall through the air at different rate than the others?
of course ! Yes, due to the effects of air resistance. All falling objects experience the same acceleration from gravity, however.
Do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
Yes, due to air resistance a rubber ball would fall faster that a sheet of paper. In a vacuum, all things would fall at the same rate.

Do men enjoy fall and women like spring?
no diffrent people like diffrent seasons

The acceleration due to gracity of all objescts in free fall is the same Why then do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
The acceleration due to gravity is the same, and in an idealized world all objects would fall at the same rate. But we do not live in an idealized world, there are other forces acting on objects as they fall. The most notable one is drag, the air resistance. This affects each object as it falls, giving them different rates of descent.

How do objects fall?
Objects fall as a result of the downward force of gravity.
