True or falseIf the same force acts upon two objects with different masses the acceleration will be greater for the object with greater mass?

This is true. Newton's 2nd law gives us the equation F_net = ma, where m is mass in kilograms and a is acceleration in m/s/s (also m/s^2). 1 kg m/s^2 = 1 Newton (N).
Example: What is the net force if a 6.0 kg mass is accelerated at 4.0 m/s^2?
Answer: F_net = ma = 6.0 kg x 4.0 m/s^2 = 24 kg m/s^2 = 24 N

In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
False
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?
The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
Do objects dropped from greater distance hit with a greater force?
Yes. In the formula P=mv, momentum, which governs the force of the impact, is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the velocity. As the velocity increases, so does the momentum, therefore the greater the height dropped from, the greater the force of impact.
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.

What is the force that prevents different objects from falling at the same rate?
acceleration
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.
Can anything ever have a downward acceleration greater than g?
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.
If 2 balls are dropped from different floors of a building which ball has greater acceleration?
The one that was dropped from the higher floor cause freefalling objects get faster and faster with more flight time
What is the reason you observe different rates of acceleration in objects due to the wind?
AHHH
How are acceleration and velocity alike and different from each other?
-- both are related to measurements of motion of objects -- acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes
