No. All objects fall with the same acceleration in a vacuum. As time goes on, the speed

keeps increasing, but the increase is the same for all objects.

======================================

Other contributors bloviated:

(If there were no other mass) it would remain unchanged. All bodies (all mass) attracts each other. Any body, including a ball, has mass. It is attracted to other masses and they to the ball. A large mass, such as our sun, pulls that ball towards the sun, and the sun will be affected by the mass of the ball. The effect/affect is slight, but in theory there is mutual attraction. This affect/effect is also true for the mass in the air.

However, a question remains. If there had been a mass, in this case a ball, and it were in a different position from one moment to another (as it is falling), does the mass from a previous moment affect the new position? Do any of the particles (which have mass) affect the same particle's) as it moves?

Did Aristotle believe all objects fall at the same rate of speed?

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.


Will objects fall at the same speed if there is no air?

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 is the largest velocity reached by falling object?

The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 kilometers/second. This is also the speed that an object would reach if it fell onto Earth's surface from far, far away ("infinity" is often used, to simplify calculations) - without air resistance, and without interference by other objects that might also attract it.The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 kilometers/second.

What was the accepted belief about theory of gravity?

The accepted belief about the theory of gravity before Isaac Newton was that objects fell because they were seeking their natural place in the universe. Newton's theory of gravity proposed that objects are attracted to each other due to a force of gravity that acts at a distance, explaining not only why objects fall but also the motion of celestial bodies.


How can you fall faster than gravity?

No. If you and say.. A rino fell of a building you both would hit the ground at the same time. So no matter what the weight of something is it always will fall the same speed as something a different wait than it. There is an equation that proves this. However I do not know it.

Aristotle believed that all objects fell to earth at the same rate of speed?

Aristotle's view was that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, based on his observation that a heavier object fell more quickly when dropped. This belief was later contradicted by Galileo's experiments, which showed that in the absence of air resistance, objects of different weights fall at the same rate.

Why did Galileo perform his free fall experiment?

To find out whether the weight of the object changed the speed at which it fell.
