Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
The air resistance for objects of different shapes causes a force which accounts for this. A leaf is a good example of an object with large surface area. A parachute - before and then after it is opened it another example.
In a vacuum, such as on the Moon, all objects do fall at the same speed. One of the Apollo astronauts dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time; both reached surface together. Maybe you can find a YouTube showing this.
What else can I help you with?
Why do all objects fall to earth at the same time velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
All objects fall to Earth at the same velocity under gravity because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface. This means that regardless of their mass, they will accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, resulting in the same final velocity when they hit the ground.
Why does acceleration due to gravity always point vertical downward?
Acceleration due to gravity is due to the force of gravitation exerted on a body by the earth. All bodies get attracted towards the centre of the earth. So the acceleration is always pointed vertically downwards.
Why don't all objects fall to to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
If there's any difference, it's the result of air. If you pump all the air out of a long tube and then drop things in it, they fall with the same acceleration, and they hit the bottom at the same time with the same velocity. Doesn't matter if you use a feather, a sheet of paper, a leaf from a maple tree, or a rock.
Why don't all objects fall to earth to the same velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
because of the differences in air resistance.
Is it possible for an object in freefall to have no acceleration?
No, but it is possible to not have an increase in speed. Because velocity is a directional quantity, not a scalar one, an object in freefall (by definition within a gravity field) is always under acceleration, just not necessarily one that alters its speed or even its position. Objects in orbit around a planet are in freefall (hence weightlessness) where the tangential component of their forward motion opposes the pull of gravity.
Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Yes, the acceleration due to gravity always points vertically downward, regardless of the direction of an object's velocity. This is because gravity is a force that attracts objects towards the center of the Earth.
What would happen to an object in free fall?
The velocity in the x direction would be constant because gravity only affects the vertical components of objects. The velocity in the y direction would increase due to the constant acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is always -9.81 m/s^2.

Does gravity always change the velocity of objects?
Only until they hit the ground or the floor.
