What is the rate of speed in mph that all objects will fall at in a vacuum chamber?

Objects in a vacuum will NOT fall at a constant rate; they will fall faster and faster. In other words, they will continuously accelerate. The acceleration near the surface of the Earth is about 9.8 meters per square second. This is not a speed - it means that every second, the speed of the object increases by 9.8 meters per second.

Who said that objects fall at the same rate of speed and challenged the teachings of the church?
Galileo said any two objects in a vacuum will fall at the same rate.
Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?
yes, they fall at different speeds because of friction due to air molecules. In a vacuum they would fall at the same speed.
Do hevey objects fall faster than light objects?
Not in a vacuum. All objects, regardless or mass, density, or whatever, fall with the same speed in a vacuum. Some objects may appear to fall more slowly than others (example, a flat piece of paper or a feather vs. a rock), but this is usually due to air resistance. All objects, when falling on earth, accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters/seconds squared.
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Who found that all objects fall at the same rate of speed in a vacuum?
Galileo

Describe what Galileo learned about falling objects that lead to an understanding of gravitational pull?
lets say if you drop a boulder and A PIECE OF PAPER THEY WILL FALL AT THE SAME TIME IN A VACUUM SEALED CHAMBER
How does a vacuum affect the rate at which objects fall?
It slows them down
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Which would fall faster in a vacuum a science table or a bar of soap?
In a vacuum they would both fall at the same speed.
Why did the flat sheet of paper fall at the same rate as the book?
If that's what actually happened, then you must have done the experiment either in a vacuum chamber or else on the moon, where there's no air. When gravity is the only thing around, all objects fall with the same acceleration, speed, and velocity, no matter what shape, size, or mass they have ... a feather and a bowling ball fall together. But when they have to fall through air, that's when heavy things fall faster.
Why does objects fall in different speeds?
all objects fall at the same speed because i like ponies
How do objects fall in a vacuum?
They fall as described in school textbooks, i.e., "ignoring air resistance...". Specifically, if they are falling down, their speed will increase by 9.8 meters/second every second (assuming Earth gravity).
