In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.

The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.
In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its do weight have anything to do with acceleration?
Near earth's surface one object's free-fall acceleration is the same as every other object'sfree-fall acceleration. The number is 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2.Weight, mass, size, volume, density, age, color, or cost have nothing to do with free-fall acceleration.If an object falls with a smaller acceleration, it's only because air has gotten in the way, and the objectis not in 'free' fall.
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.
Can an object in free fall have zero acceleration?
well if you consider the ISS as constantly falling at the same time its moving away from the earth so it dosnt hit the ground all objects have to be in acceleration for that sort of free fall. but a parajumper in a free fall dose not have any acceleration but using there body they can use arms and legs to direct the air in away that it pushes them forward or backward.
In free fall do all objects fall with the same acceleration?
yes, objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/swith acceleration. For every second in free fall you must add 9.8m/s to get the acceleration of an object.
When there is no air friction all objects fall with the same?
With the same acceleration.

Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?
Yes, that is correct.

On the moon name objects that would fall with the same acceleration?
Everything falls with the same acceleration on the moon. The acceleration is 1.6 meters (5.25-ft) per sec2.
What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?
In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.
The acceleration due to gracity of all objescts in free fall is the same Why then do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
The acceleration due to gravity is the same, and in an idealized world all objects would fall at the same rate. But we do not live in an idealized world, there are other forces acting on objects as they fall. The most notable one is drag, the air resistance. This affects each object as it falls, giving them different rates of descent.
How do two objects fall at the same speed?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, ALL objects fall with the same acceleration near the surface of the earth, meaning that any two objects dropped at the same time will have the same velocity after the same time interval.
