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
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.
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
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.
Yes, the acceleration due to gravity causes objects to fall faster the longer they are in free fall. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth. It causes objects to increase in speed by 9.8 meters per second every second they fall.
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.
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.

It depends on the ramps slope. if it was straight down, the cars would fall down the ramp at the speed of gravity, which is 9.8 meters per second No. Gravity is NOT speed, it is acceleration. In the absence of air resistance, the car would accelerate at a speed of 9.8 ms-2
He skied down the slope as the snow continued to fall.
Neglecting air resistance ... all of them.

The speed at which objects fall through air depends on factors such as the object's weight, shape, and surface area. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of size or weight. However, in air resistance affects the falling speed, making smaller and more aerodynamic objects fall slower than larger or less aerodynamic objects.
It slows them down
