An object that moves because of the action of gravity alone is said to be free falling. ... So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration. In a vacuum, a beach ball falls at the same rate as an airliner.

Do heavier objects fall faster in a vacuum?

In a vacuum (on the moon, say), all objects fall at the same speed, even if one is heavier than the others.

What falls faster in a vacuum?

Explanation: There is no air resistance in a vacuum. This means that under the force of gravity alone, both objects will accelerate at the same rate. Hence, neither object falls faster.
