In the absence of air, everything falls with the same acceleration, and reaches
the same speed in the same amount of time after being dropped. If things fall
through air, though, this isn't true.
Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
because of the differences in air resistance.
In a vacuum, air resistance is eliminated, and all objects fall due to gravity alone. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass, so they fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist, is credited with the discovery that heavy and light bodies of the same substance fall at the same speed in a vacuum. He conducted experiments to demonstrate this principle of free fall.
Indeed, in a vacuum or in air with negligible air resistance, quarters and feathers would fall at the same speed due to the acceleration due to gravity being the only force acting on the objects. This is in accordance with the principle of universal free fall.
Air resistance of an object can slow its fall. If every object had the same resistance, everything would fall at the same speed.
When something falls from somwhere its because of gravity and gravity has an exact speed so everything falls at the same rate
both will fall at the same time
all things fall at the same speed
iT DEPENDS IF THE BALL IS LIGHT THE LIGTER MOSTLIKLEY TO HAVE THE SAME SPEED.
Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
Galileo Galilei is reported (see addendum) to have dropped a ten-pound weight and a one-pound weight off the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and proved that both fall at the same speed. Of course, a more general principle was being demonstrated, the fact that objects of any weight fall at the same speed (with the same acceleration, actually). Does this experiment fit the bill? Does it, in fact, prove that objects of any weight fall with the same speed or acceleration?
Because both You and the ball (and everything else in the cabin for that sake) are moving with the same speed as the car :)

Galileo showed that all bodies fall at the same speed under gravity. He performed his experiments assuming air resistance is ignored.galileoGalileo
