Gallelio, when he dropped two stones of unequal weight from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa.
Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist and astronomer, is credited with challenging the teachings of the church by proposing that objects fall at the same rate of speed regardless of their mass. This idea contradicted the Aristotelian view supported by the church at the time.
no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.
theoritically yes. if they are placed in a vacuum packed room with no air, just empty space, they can fall at the same rate. if they fell in air, the aerodynamics wouldn't equal out, so the quarter would fall faster.

Galileo's theory is more accurate - in a vacuum, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate. This principle is known as the equivalence principle. Aristotle's notion was based on observations in air where air resistance affects the fall rate of heavier objects.

that's what your mom said last night

Such an object is said to be in free fall.
My Biology teacher said "They speed up the rate at which all parts react"
So he could come up with the ball drop theory, which is that all objects drop at the same speed. Regarding the fact that one object has a much greater mass than the other object, it will still land at the same time. Hope this helps :)
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed with respect to time during a given interval.
When two objects vibrate at the same speed, they are said to be in resonance. This can lead to greater amplitude of vibrations and enhanced energy transfer between the two objects. Resonance can occur in various systems, from musical instruments to structural engineering.
