Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the accelration due to gravity always the same?

Because here on Earth, in the 'laboratory' where you must make all of your observations,
everything you see falling must fall through air. The presence of air has a substantial
effect on what you observe.
If you could do the experiments without air, and have nothing but gravity affect your
falling objects, you would see a feather and a truck fall with the same acceleration,
reach the bottom at the same time, and hit the ground with the same speed.

Why don't all objects fall to earth to the same velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
because of the differences in air resistance.
Does gravity work when two objects are touching?
Yes. Gravity always works.
Does gravity pull or push objects towards the earth?
The forces of gravity always pull two objects toward each other.
What statement about Gravity is always true?
Objects will always be pulled to the center of the mass.
Do two objects that have the same mass and velocity always have the same momentum?
yes
Does gravity always change the velocity of objects?
Only until they hit the ground or the floor.
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
because of the differences in air resistance.
When is gravity strongest?
gravity will always be the same it is always stronger than objects but it will never change.
Why don't ALL objects fall to earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stay the same?
because of the differences in air resistance.

What would happen to an object in free fall?
The velocity in the x direction would be constant because gravity only affects the vertical components of objects. The velocity in the y direction would increase due to the constant acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is always -9.81 m/s^2.
Does gravity work when two objects are touching?
Yes. Gravity always works.
When an object reaches terminal velocity and there is no net force what is the initial force that got it going to keep it in motion?
Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.

The forces of gravity always pull two objects toward each other.

Objects will always be pulled to the center of the mass.
