What is the acceleration of falling bodies?
The acceleration of falling bodies due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, which is constant regardless of the mass of the object. This acceleration causes all objects to fall at the same rate in a vacuum, as famously demonstrated by a feather and a hammer on the Moon.
What is the conclusion of freely falling bodies?
The conclusion of freely falling bodies is that all objects fall towards the Earth at the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and is known as the acceleration due to gravity.
How would the observed value of acceleration be affected if the falling body used were heavier?
Your question describes it as a "falling body", so I'm assuming that you're asking about a body with no force on it except for the gravitational force. This is an important assumption. If it's true, then the mass (weight) of the falling body has no effect at all on its acceleration. Except for the effect of air resistance, all bodies fall with the same acceleration.
What is the effect of the mass of freely falling body on gravitational acceleration?
No effect whatsoever. Any two freely falling bodies fall with the same acceleration when dropped in the same place on the same planet. That includes any two objects falling on Earth. Someone is sure to jump in here and point out that objects with different mass don't fall with equal accelerations on Earth, and that's because of air resistance. They may even go on to provide answers to other questions that were not asked, such as a treatise on terminal velocity. All of that is true, even if confusing. This question stipulated that the bodies in question are "freely fallling". Bodies that are falling through air are not freely falling.
Why does gravitational acceleration of any object near earth is the same no matter what the mass is?
It isn't; gravitational force is minutely different around the world, such as compared between the equator and the poles. However, this difference is so minute it is hardly worth considering. The acceleration on an object is the same regardless of mass (when placed in the same place) because the formulae used for calculating the acceleration make the mass of the object redundant and it doesn't affect anything.

Why is the gravitational accleration of any object near Earth is the same?
The gravitational acceleration of an object near Earth is the same because it depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from the center of the Earth. This means that all objects experience the same gravitational acceleration, regardless of their mass or composition.
Can bodies with different velocities have same acceleration?
Yes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.
Is earth's gravity the same on the surface as it is in the center of the earth?
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO

If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?
The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
How come all bodies sliding down a frictionless inclined plane have same acceleration?
all bodies have same acceleration while coming down from an inclined plane because in such type of case acceleration does not depends upon mass....acceleration can be given as a=gsinθ......θ(theta) is the angle of the inclined plane. g is the acceleration due to gravity or 9.81 m/s2.*Note: the acceleration due to gravity is actually based on the mass of both bodies and the square of the distance between their centers. While this means that gravity (acceleration) is not equal for all bodies, the mass of the Earth is so much greater than any measurable bodies, that can move down the inclined plane. The mass of the body is negligible in comparison and thus the change in acceleration due to gravity is likewise negligible, and generally not measurable. If a mass the size of the moon were moving down the inclined plane, then that would definitely indicate a greater acceleration.F = m1m2/r2. Where F = force of gravity, m1 = mass of body 1, m2 = mass of body 2, and r = the distance between the bodies.
Earth had twice the present mass. Assume the properties stay the same. What would the acceleration of the more massive Earth due to the Sun compared to the present acceleration of earth from the Sun?
The acceleration of one mass toward another one on account of gravity doesn't depend on the mass of the smaller one. That's why all objects fall to earth with the same acceleration. The size of an object's orbit around a large mass doesn't depend on the smaller object's mass either. That's why a space-walking astronaut and the Space Shuttle that his pajamas are stored in for later can stay in the same orbit without flying apart.
