Do objects of different weights but similar size and shape fall to the ground at the same rate?

Yes. In the absence of air, it doesn't even matter
how their shapes and sizes compare.

How could Aristotle's hypothesis be supported or disproved?
Drop two balls with different weights and observe which ball hits the ground first.
When you drop a small object is the mass and veloctiy low or high?
Galileo was the first to discover that, when released at the same time, objects with different weights will reach the ground at the same time. This is true because the Earth's gravitation pull is constant. Generally speaking, the velocity of an object will initially be low (zero) and will, given time and distance, increase to reach its terminal velocity. Mass, on the other hand, will remain constant.
Does the mass effect the time taken for objects rolling down a slope?
Galileo dropped two different sized objects from the tower of Pisa and they both hit the ground at the same time. The object was to prove that the size/weight (i.e. mass) of the object would not affect the rate of fall.
What are tortes?
Tortes are similar to sponge cakes but rely on ground nuts or crumbs to replace some or all of their flour
How long does it it take an object of 4 kg to hit the ground considering another object with a mass of 2 kg took 3 seconds to hit the ground?
Assuming they were in a vacuum, if both objects were dropped from th esame height, then both take the same length of time to reach the ground. All masses fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed in the same period of time, and hit the ground at the same time. Otherwise and if there is an atmosphere or if they are dropped from different heights, you have not presented information; shape and size are the most important factors.
Objects with three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon. Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
None of these matter. With no air resistance, they all hit the ground at the same time.
How are direct objects in sentences similar to objects on the ground?
You can kick them!
Will two free balls bodies wit different weights reach ground together?
Yes
If you drop two objects of the Pisa tower will they both hit the ground at the same time?
Neglecting air resistance, yes, regardless of their comparative weights.
Which objects must be perpendicular to the ground if the ground is flat?
All objects on that ground that are upright.
What ground speed does a 747 need for liftoff?
Between 130 and 180 knots is enough for most (different weights, configurations, etc) Boeing 747 to get off the ground
What three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
Assuming that each object is held with its center of gravity at the same height, and that each is dropped cleanly, with no rotation induced, the one whose lowest part is closest to the ground when dropped will hit first.
How could Aristotle's hypothesis be supported or disproved?
Drop two balls with different weights and observe which ball hits the ground first.
Why do dropped objects of different masses reach the ground at the same time in air?
Because of gravity, objects fall at 9.7m/s making them reach the ground at the same time. This does not apply to objects like paper or feathers due to the fluid friction in the air.
What happens if two objects are dropped at the same time?
They fall to the ground at the same time, regardless how much they weigh.
Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
Why do objects fall to the ground when thrown upward?
Objects fall to the ground because of the force of gravity.
