Assuming by 'fall' we mean undergo the effects of gravity. If the two objects are falling toward the same large mass (ie falling towards Earth) then they would both accelerate at the same rate. This rate happens to be about 9.8 meters per second squared. It is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

Which would fall with greater acceleration in a vauum a leaf or stone?
Both the same.
Where would a bowling ball and a napkin fall with the same acceleration?
In a vacuum chamber. C. On the moon.
Where would a bowling ball and a napkin fall with same acceleration?
In a vacuum chamber. C. On the moon.
If you are pushing a shopping cart if you start pushing harder what happens?
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the greater the force, the greater the acceleration. So if you were to begin pushing a shopping cart harder, you go faster and there is more acceleration. If you were to push the cart softer there would be less acceleration.
How could the acceleration of the person on the swing be increased?
The acceleration would be increased if the person pushing started to use a greater force. This would increase the force but keep the mass constant.

Which would have greater acceleration if the same force was applied to a Semi Truck or a Toyota?
The Toyota would have more acceleration a= F/m if the mass of the of the Semi Truck is greater than the mass of the Toyota.

Given this the amount of time it would take the stone to fall in air compared to in a vacuum would be what?
longer because the stone has less kinetic energy

How do you describe the combined variation of A equals F over M?
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but hopefully this answers your question. A=Acceleration F=Force M=Mass The acceleration of an object is dependent on the mass of the object and the force exerted on it. The greater the force is, the greater the acceleration. The greater the mass is, the lower the acceleration. The greater the mass of the object, the more force required to obtain the same acceleration. Examples: Let's say you have an object of mass 8. If you were to exert 16 force, then the acceleration would be 2, but if you exert 4 force, the acceleration is 1/2. Similarly, if you exert 8 force on 2 objects, with masses 16 and 4, then the object with mass 16 would have an acceleration of 1/2, while the object with a mass of 4 would have an acceleration of 2. Hopefully this helped, sorry if it wasn't what you were asking. Also, I think this should be in physics/science, not algebra.
What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?
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.
What happens to the acceleration as you decreases the mass?
By F = ma, if the force remains constant, and the mass decreases, this would mean that the acceleration has increased by exactly the same factor as the decrease in mass. That is, if the mass of a substance was halved, its acceleration would have doubled exactly.
A feather and a coin dropped in a vacuum fall with equal?
ANSWER: the two objects would have the same velocity, but since KE is proportional to mass, the heavier one would have more KE.
