If air resistance can be neglected, there is no effect. If there is air resistance,
the general tendency is for more massive objects to fall faster.
In places like the moon, where there is no air, a feather and a rock
fall together.
Gravity causes a falling object to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 (on Earth). This acceleration due to gravity increases the speed of the object as it falls towards the ground.
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
Falling objects speed up due to the acceleration of gravity. As an object falls, the force of gravity causes it to accelerate towards the Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration increases the object's speed over time.
An object falling towards the Earth will stop accelerating once it reaches its terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed it can achieve due to air resistance. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.
As an object falls, gravity acts as an external force pulling it downward. This force causes the object to accelerate as it falls towards the Earth's surface. The object's speed increases until it reaches terminal velocity, when the gravitational force pulling it down is balanced by the air resistance pushing against it.

There is a uniform accleration of 9.8 m/s*s experienced by a free falling object, caused due to the earth's gravity.
Factors that increase speed of a falling object:HEIGHT - The longer an object is in the air the more speed it gains due to gravityGRAVITY - The strength of the acelleration due to gravity (eg the moon is different to earth)STARTING VELOCITY - The speed the object starts at.Factors that decrease the speed of a falling object:AIR RESISTANCE - Air resistance is a major factor however it in itself is dependant on the air pressure around the object and the surface area of the object.
The mass of a falling object will affect the speed at which it falls. Additionally, the shape or geometryof that object will also have an effect. The shape of a falling object will have a dramatic effect on the amount of dragthat the object will experience. Consider that a flat piece of cardboard will fall more slowly than a glass ball of the same mass, and it will be more easy to visualize how drag is a function of shape.=======================================Beulah the Buzzer gagged on the first sentence of the response above, andSignor Galileo rotated 2pi in his crypt.The mass of a falling object will NOT affect the speed at which it falls.The remainder of the response above is correct and well stated, provided onlythat the objects are falling through air. If not, then neither their shape nor theirgeometry affects their rate of fall either.
No, the speed of an object falling to the Earth increases due to the acceleration of gravity. At the beginning, the object has zero velocity and then accelerates until it reaches its terminal velocity, which is when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?

Gravity and speed are related in the context of how gravity affects the speed of an object. As an object falls towards the Earth, it accelerates due to gravity, increasing in speed as it falls. The speed of an object falling due to gravity depends on factors such as the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational force acting on it.
