No, an object in free fall experiences the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of its shape or size. Air resistance does not affect the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.
True. In free fall, all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of their mass or air resistance. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
Drop a pound of feathers (in a bag) and a pound of lead from a height. The smaller mass of the lead will let it fall faster due to less air resistance, than the greater mass and much greater air resistance of the feathers.
No, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. This is described by the principle of equivalence, which states that gravitational mass and inertial mass are equivalent.
False
In free fall, all objects accelerate at the same rate regardless of air resistance. This is because acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects near Earth's surface, regardless of their mass. Therefore, in the absence of air resistance, objects will fall at the same rate of 9.8 m/s² regardless of their weight.

Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.
The weight of an object is defined as the force acting on it due to gravity. This force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). So, weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
Objects fall at different rates through air due to differences in their air resistance. While the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects, air resistance can vary based on the shape, size, and surface area of the object. Objects with greater air resistance will fall more slowly than objects with less air resistance, even though they experience the same acceleration due to gravity.
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 gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth, is the primary factor that determines how fast an object will fall. Objects will fall faster if they have a higher acceleration due to gravity and slower if they have a lower acceleration due to gravity. Other factors like air resistance and the density of the object can also have a small effect on the speed of fall.
Yes, objects can accelerate at a rate greater than "g". Most objects, when falling in the absense of air resisitance, accelerate at a uniform rate of -9.81 m/s^2 (this is under ideal conditions on Earth). Air resistance tends to decrease that acceleration. The classic example of greater than "g" acceleration is a bungee jumper.
