Objects of different masses fall at the same rate due to the constant acceleration of gravity on Earth, which is 9.81 m/s² in an ideal model. This means that if a ten-ton weight and a golf ball are dropped simultaneously from a height, they will reach the ground at the same time, disregarding air resistance. While the gravitational force acting on each object differs due to their masses, the acceleration remains unchanged, confirming that mass does not affect the rate of fall.
