Does different speed of two objects effect the time it takes to reach the ground?

If thrown horizontal from same height the faster object will travel farther horizontally, but time to fall is the same.
If thrown straight up, the faster object will take longer to fall

Why do dropped objects of different masses reach the ground at the same time in air?
Because of gravity, objects fall at 9.7m/s making them reach the ground at the same time. This does not apply to objects like paper or feathers due to the fluid friction in the air.
What is the effect of the mass of an object at the time of descent.?
According to Galileo, the mass of an object has no effect on the time of descent here on earth under a constant gravitational value, he discovered that objects will reach the ground at the same even though they may have different masses. this is due to the same rate of acceleration of objects experienced here on earth (approximately 9.8m/s/s). Merely the minute difference in the time observed between two falling objects of different masses can be attributed to the heavier object overcoming the friction force of air resistance better than the lighter.
Is it possible for light objects to fall first than heavy objects?
All objects will reach the ground when dropped or when they fall at approximately the exact same time except for paper.
Do all objects not aided by the air fall to the ground at the same speed?
Yes all objects fall at the same speed but there are objects that are aided by the air that don't fall to the ground at the same speed. For example, a feather and a brick. A feather is a object that is aided by air. A brick is a object that wind cannot blow away. If I drop both of them down with the same time down a 100 feet building, then definitely the brick will totally reach the ground first ............ well and it will get crushed into pieces while the feather might be blown away into a different place and reach the ground last.:) :):):):):):):):):)
How do meteorites differ from asteroids?
Asteroids are objects smaller then planets that orbit the Sun. Meteorites are (usually) smaller objects that enter the atmosphere and reach the ground.
How do you make objects of different masses to reach the ground at the same time?
You must let the lighter one go first then let the heavier one go. The heavier should then catch up.
What is precipitation which does not reach the ground called?
Precipitation that does not reach the ground is called 'virga'. If it does reach the ground, it's called 'praecipitatio'.
How is a tornado different from a funnel cloud?
A funnel cloud is like a tornado only it does not reach the ground.
Will two free balls bodies wit different weights reach ground together?
Yes
Would a crumple paper ball or rectangular shape paper reach the ground?
tHE BALL OF PAPER WOULD REACH THE GROUND FIRST. tHE RECTANGLE SHAPE WILL REACH LATER DUE TO THE AIR FOIL EFFECT(float down). iN A VACUUM THEY WOULD DROP THE SAME. Gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
When two objects at different temperature make contact what happens?
When two objects at different temperatures make contact, thermal energy tends to flow from the hotter object to the cooler object. This transfer of heat continues until the two objects reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they reach the same temperature.
Which ball would reach the ground first one weighing one half kg or one weighing 1 kg?
If dropped from the same height, they both will reach the ground at the same time. The acceleration of gravity is the same for all objects regardless of mass. The only thing that would change this would be air resistance on the balls, which is assumed to be negligible for objects of comparable sizes.
