Resistance due to air

Altitude and air resistance.

Wind resistance, terminal velocity (top speed). Technically the height from which you dropped it because the higher up you are the less gravity there is but that's very negligible.

wind resistence for 1

well....

::IN A VACUUM::

nothing affects the rate at which objects fall

well except the force of gravity pulling it down

at which it will accelerate at a certain speed per second (i totally forgot it)

and wont stop accelerating

until it hits something or eventually reaches the speed of light

@ which point it will accelerate no more just keep falling at the same givin speed

gravity...

shape of object...for friction against air...

other factors...wind, etc...

Air resistance, height from which it is dropped, the strength of gravity are the main ones. The mass of the object does not affect the speed at all.

weather?

how heavy it is, how much force u push when it drops.

the distance

and the planet ur on, coz of gravity
