Yes, if they have the same volume.
When a hollow plastic ball and a solid metal ball is a dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force acting on the balls the balls will fall at the same rate. Being that this is a prediction answer may vary.
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.
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.
No, Aristotle believed that different objects fall at different rates of speed based on their weight. He thought that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. This view was later disproven by Galileo's experiments on gravity.
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
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.

Neglecting air resistance ... all of them.

no depening on how heavy it is that's the speed it will go. information by wwtpody:)

They fall at the same speed, if there is no outside force acting on it (ie. air resistance, wind etc.)
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.

The only reason falling objects don't fall at the same speed on Earth is the countering force of wind resistance. Without air, all objects would fall at the same rate, regardless of mass (ex. Galileo's ball experiments, as well as the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon).
