False
When air resistance is greater than the force of gravity acting on an object, it will slow down the object's descent. This is because the air resistance force counteracts the force of gravity, reducing the acceleration of the object as it falls.
When an object falls through the air and encounters air resistance, its overall acceleration decreases compared to a scenario where no air resistance is present. This decrease in acceleration causes the object to fall at a slower rate. The object's velocity increases until it reaches a terminal velocity where the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object, resulting in a constant velocity.
-- If you really mean "falls through the air", then its acceleration steadily decreases. -- If you're actually thinking about an object that's "falling", with no air in the way and no other influence on it except gravity, then its acceleration is constant as it falls.
When you drop an object, it falls due to gravity. The speed at which it falls depends on the object's mass and the force of gravity. If there is no air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of size or weight, as described by the acceleration due to gravity.
The acceleration due to gravity on a falling object is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, assuming no air resistance. This acceleration causes the object to increase its velocity by 9.81 m/s each second it falls.

As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.

The acceleration due to gravity on a falling object is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, assuming no air resistance. This acceleration causes the object to increase its velocity by 9.81 m/s each second it falls.
The speed at which an object falls and the acceleration at which it falls are not the same value. The acceleration due to gravity is constant at about 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth, but the speed of an object can change as it falls depending on factors such as air resistance.
As an object falls through the air towards the ground, its displacement increases as it moves further down. The velocity of the object also increases due to acceleration from gravity until it reaches its terminal velocity, when air resistance balances out with gravity. The acceleration of the object remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity acting on it.
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
The acceleration of a falling object near the Earth's surface is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, assuming air resistance is negligible. This acceleration is due to gravity and causes the object to increase its velocity by 9.81 m/s every second it falls.
As an object falls towards the earth, it accelerates due to the force of gravity acting on it's mass. As velocity increases, air resistance increases. This is in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on the object. Therefore the resultant force on the object is decreased, and the rate of acceleration is reduced. Eventually, the force due to the air resistance is equal in magnitude to the weight and the object has no resultant force acting. At this point the object will be travelling at a constant velocity, commonly referred to as Terminal Velocity.
