Detailed Solution

Two objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of the earth would have some velocities of any instant.
In free fall, velocity is determined only by gravity's acceleration. Gravity's acceleration is independent of the body's mass. As a result, both objects receive the same acceleration due to the Moon's gravity. As a result, irrespective of their masses, they will have the same velocities at any instant. However, the two will not experience the same force since force is proportional to mass, and the mass of the bodies differs here.
