The acceleration of a free-falling object (on Earth) has been calculated to be 9.8 m/s/s. This amount (known as gravity's acceleration) remains constant for all free-falling objects, regardless of how long they've been falling or whether they were dropped from rest or tossed into the air. Yet, "doesn't a more massive object accelerate at a faster pace than a less massive item?" is a common question. "Wouldn't a mouse free-fall quicker than an elephant?" This is a legitimate question, and it is most likely founded in part on firsthand observations of falling things in the real world.
After all, almost everyone has noticed the difference between a single sheet of paper (or similar object) and a textbook as it falls. The two objects plainly move at different speeds to the ground, with the larger book falling quicker.
Isn't it true that a more large item accelerates faster than a less massive thing? is not the case! That is, not if we are talking about the particular form of falling motion known as free-fall. Free-fall is the motion of things that move only due to gravity; items in free-fall do not experience air resistance.
The actual explanation of why all objects accelerate at the same rate involves the concepts of force and mass.
