Who proved that objects fall toward the earth at a constant acceleration regardless of their size?
It was first demonstrated by Galileo that objects fall toward the Earth with a constant acceleration, regardless of their size. He did this by means of experiments using various objects which were rolled down inclined planes. He did not, contrary to popular legend, drop various objects off the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
How do all objects fall?
Objects fall through the force of gravity.
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
No, they fall at the same time.
Why do objects fall to the ground when thrown upward?
Objects fall to the ground because of the force of gravity.
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
What if you drop your hamster from 2 inches?
It will fall two inches, and you may injure it. Consider dropping inanimate objects in your experiments.
Why don't all falling objects fall at the same speed?
The only reason falling objects don't fall at the same speed on Earth is the countering force of wind resistance. Without air, all objects would fall at the same rate, regardless of mass (ex. Galileo's ball experiments, as well as the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon).

How do objects fall?
Objects fall as a result of the downward force of gravity.
How do all objects fall?
Objects fall through the force of gravity.
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
No, they fall at the same time.
Why do objects fall to the ground when thrown upward?
Objects fall to the ground because of the force of gravity.
Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?
false
Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
Why does objects fall in different speeds?
all objects fall at the same speed because i like ponies
In free fall all objects fall with the same acceleration?
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?
If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.
