Do heavier objects fall any slower or faster than lighter objects?

Light and heavy objects fall at the same rate~ " How fast something falls due to gravity is determined by a number known as the "acceleration of gravity", which is 9.81 m/s^2 at the surface of our Earth. Basically this means that in one second, any object's downward velocity will increase by 9.81 m/s because of gravity. This is just the way gravity works - it accelerates everything at exactly the same rate. " Source: https://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=164

Every object falls with same rate or acceleration. This acceleration is called as acceleration due to gravity. It's equal to 9.8 \(\sf m.s^2\)
