please help me or at least explain because i don't understand.................. Write an analysis of the differences between the acceleration rate of objects on Earth versus objects in the vacuum of space. Be sure to include terminology from the lesson and direct references to your data.

I think this question is more about air resistance than gravity because the question mentions the "vacuum of space". So for the same gravitational field an object will go faster without having to squeeze itself through the air. So if an object is dense then air resistance will not affect the acceleration too much e.g. a cannonball. However something light, with a lot of loft (another way of saying surface area) like a feather will accelerate less than the cannonball.
