If a freely falling object is equipped with a odometer Would the readings of distance falling each second indicate equal or unequal distances of fall for successive seconds?

It depends on how heavy the rock is. The heavier it is the faster it will fall.
No. Acceleration due to gravity is independent of weight. Galileo proved as much.
acceleration due to gravity is dependent on latitude but is always near 10m/s2

∙ 13y agoIf the object is freely falling near the surface of the earth, then the reading on the
speedometer is always 9.8 meters per second (32.2 feet per second) higher than
it was one second earlier.
That number is called the "acceleration of gravity on earth", and your speedometer
is a great way to explain it !

What is metric height?
All distances are measured in metres. Prefixes are used to indicate multiples or fractions of a metre.
What does this distance indicate about an atom of lithium?
You think probable to atomic radius.
Why does a teapot whistle?
Some tea pots are equipped with a 'whistler' a bit like an alarm, this is to indicate that the water being boiled has reached its boiling point.
What is the Distance in parsecs of Draco?
Impossible to say because Draco is a constellation, which means it consists of all the stars and other objects in a defined area of the sky. The distances could vary from the closest to extremely far away. The average distance would depend closely on the dimmest objects included in the calculation.
What does a line of latitude mean?
The horizontal lines on a map or globe that indicate distance north or south of the Equator.
What shows the relationship between distances on a map and the corresponding distances on the earth's surface?
The SCALE of the map indicates the relationship between lengths measured on a map and the actual distances. It can indicate the ratio of distances (e.g. 1:10000) or the equivalent actual distance for an inch or centimeter as measured on the map, often providing a measurement bar for various distances.

Are contour lines used to indicate horizontal distances or vertical distances on earths surface?
Horizontal
What is used to convert between the distance on the map and actual distance in real life on a planimetric map?
The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.
What are the major links in the distance chain?
One link is equal to one hundredth of a chain which is 0.22 yards, 0.66 feet, or 0.201168 meters. The chain was commonly used with the mile to indicate land distances.
The term that is used to indicate decreasing levels of spatial interactions with increasing distances is?
Dstance decay
What words can be a demonstrative?
The demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these, and those.The demonstrative pronouns indicate, or point to; demonstrative pronouns indicate near in distance or time and far in distance or time.
How do you measure the distance run in the ships?
TO MEASURE AND INDICATE SPEED AND DISTANCE .... 3.2 Errors in the indicated distance run,
What is metric height?
All distances are measured in metres. Prefixes are used to indicate multiples or fractions of a metre.
Does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate that an object is stationary?
Object will change distance time graph when speed is changing. Distance time graph don't changed indicate of the stationary.
What does odometer indicate?
An odometer indicates distance travelled by a vehicle.
