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.
What else can I help you with?
Do solid objects fall with hollow objects at the same speed?
In a vacuum, solid and hollow objects fall at the same speed due to gravity. However, in the presence of air resistance, hollow objects might fall more slowly compared to solid objects of the same mass and shape, as air resistance affects hollow objects differently.
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.
Why do a feather and a hammer fall at the same speed in a vaccum?
In a vacuum, air resistance is eliminated, and all objects fall due to gravity alone. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass, so they fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same speed regardless of shape or weight due to gravity exerting the same force on them. However, in the presence of air resistance, objects with different shapes will fall at different speeds due to variations in air resistance.
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
What objects fall at the same speed?
Neglecting air resistance ... all of them.
Do solid objects fall with hollow objects at the same speed?

In a vacuum, air resistance is eliminated, and all objects fall due to gravity alone. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass, so they fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
What do you use to see if all object fall at the same speed?
yes, all the objects fall at same speed if we neglect air resistence but they appear to be falling at different speeds due to air resistence.
Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same speed regardless of shape or weight due to gravity exerting the same force on them. However, in the presence of air resistance, objects with different shapes will fall at different speeds due to variations in air resistance.
Do objects fall equally?
They fall at the same speed, if there is no outside force acting on it (ie. air resistance, wind etc.)
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.
What must be absent for two objects of drastically different masses to fall at the exact same speed if they rely only on gravity?
Air resistance must be absent for two objects of drastically different masses to fall at the exact same speed when relying only on gravity. This is because air resistance affects the rate at which objects fall through the atmosphere, causing lighter objects to experience more air resistance than heavier objects.
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
Results for quarters and feathers fall at the same speed?
Indeed, in a vacuum or in air with negligible air resistance, quarters and feathers would fall at the same speed due to the acceleration due to gravity being the only force acting on the objects. This is in accordance with the principle of universal free fall.
When two objects of different masses are dropped at different positions will they fall at the same speed?
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth when dropped will accelerate due to gravity at the same rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This means that they will fall at the same speed regardless of their mass or starting position. However, in the presence of air resistance, the speed at which they fall may vary.
