Dropped objects hit the ground at the same time (as long as they're dropped from the same height) because the acceleration of gravity is constant. On earth, it's 9.8 meters per second (32.2 feet per second) every second.
The acceleration of gravity near the earth's surface is 9.8 meters/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2. That's it. That's the acceleration of any falling body, whether dropped from your hand or from the roof of a tall building. Knowing the acceleration and the height from which the object fell, it's easy to calculate how much time it takes the object to hit the ground. The time is t = sqr-root of (2H/g). H = the height, g = acceleration of gravity. No properties of the object appear in this formula. None of this discussion has anything to do with the mass, weight, shape, or composition of the object. They don't make any difference. If gravity is the only force on the object, then all objects fall at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.
Gravity.
it would be 9.8 meter per second. anything that isn't subject to air resistance(like paper) will fall at this rate for this is the acceleration of gravity,
Ignoring air resistance, the acceleration is constant, from the moment the ballleaves the hand until the moment it hits the ground, regardless of the mass ofthe ball or the height from which it's released.It's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 . That's the acceleration of gravity. (On Earth.)The speed of a dropped object grows continuously. At the end of 1 second,it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second.
Its acceleration is always the same - the acceleration of gravity at 32 ft/sec/sec - no matter what distance it is during drop, until it hits the ground.
Acceleration due to the force of gravity.

mgh represents the potential energy of an object located at a height h above the ground, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. It is calculated as the product of the mass, acceleration due to gravity, and the height.

Ep (joules) = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height So: height = Ep / (mass * acceleration due to gravity)
Gravity.
No, acceleration due to gravity is a constant at 9.81ms-2. It cannot be influenced by other factors such as height.
It would take too long to explain all the math, so here are some answers:If you use acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s^2:height = 25.3125mIf you use acceleration due to gravity = -9.81m/s^2:height = 25.1640625m
As long as the barrel is precisely level with the ground, gravity will pull them to the Earth at the same rate.
