    If we may ignore air resistance ... and we always do for calculations that

    involve falling objects ... an object with 1200kg of mass accelerates at the

    rate of about 9.8 meters per second-squared, if it's on or near the surface

    of the Earth.

    That acceleration is the same as that of a falling elephant, bowling ball, car,

    rock, leaf, or feather, in the absence of air resistance. In the absence of air

    resistance, acceleration in free fall doesn't depend on the mass, weight, size,

    shape, color, temperature, gender identification, or national origin of the falling

    objects. Without air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate, and ANY two

    objects that are dropped from the same height at the same time hit the ground

    at the same time.
