Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?

The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.

How gravity sensor works?
I am assuming you are referring to the accelerometer that allows the phone to change from portrait to landscape when the phone is turned. If so, read on... remember-you wanted technical! An accelerometer measures the non gravitational acceleration it experiences.[1] By definition, non-gravitational acceleration is that which is produced by forces other than gravity or inertial/fictitious forces. Such forces include all simple mechanical forces. These are transmitted to the accelerometer device through mechanical stress on its mounting. The result of such forces, and the output of the accelerometer, is typically expressed in SI units meters/second2 (m/s2) or popularly in terms of g-force. It does not measure the "acceleration" due to gravity, and an accelerometer in free fall in a gravity field, even though being accelerated, will read "zero." This includes use in an earth orbiting spaceship. When held stationary or moving at constant speed in a gravity field by a support, the output of an accelerometer has an offset due to local gravity. The force applied by the support means that, perhaps counter-intuitively, the accelerometer will indicate 1 g along the vertical axis away from the Earth. The accelerometer is simply measuring the inertial acceleration due to this external force (which thus points in a direction opposite its weight, and compensates for its weight so as it keep it motionless in the gravitational field.)
What is a circuit connected to the Earth called?
Grounding?AnswerIf a line conductor is unintentionally connected to earth, then it is an earth fault.
Which layers of the earth are liquid?
The outer core is the only Earth layer that is liquid.
An orange in a tree has what energy due to earth pulling down on it?
It has gravitational energy due to the earth's gravity
What is topogrophy?
A made up word. Did you mean Topography? Is so then (from Greek τόπος topos, "place", and γράφω graphō, "write") is a field of planetary science comprising the study of surface shape and features of the Earth and other observable astronomical objects including planets, moons, and asteroids. It is also the description of such surface shapes and features (especially their depiction in maps). The topography of an area can also mean the surface shape and features themselves.
Formula for acceleration of all objects falling to the earth?
a=change in velocity time
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.

All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to which factor of gravity?
acceleration
In freefall do all objects near Earth's surface have the same acceleration?
Without atmospheric drag, all free falling objects near earth's surface will have the same acceleration. But because of friction with the air (air resistance), the velocity of objects due to that acceleration is limited. The actual velocity is dependent on the surface area of the object relative to its mass. The principle of the parachute is to increase the surface area of a falling object with respect to its mass.
All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 due to which factor of gravity?
acceleration
All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 due to which factor of gravity?
acceleration
Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its?
Near earth's surface, an object's free fall acceleration is constant.The value is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2. That number is called the 'acceleration of gravity on earth'.
What is the terminal velocity of a falling object on earth?
An object that has reached its terminal velocity is going at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity. The rate of change is zero. Therefore, the acceleration is zero.
