Best Answer

If they're both dropped from the same place at the same time, and fall through

a region without air, then they both experience the same acceleration, and hit

the ground with the same speed at the same time. If they have to fall through

air, water, molasses, etc., then the fluid probably slows the book more than it

slows the pencil.

How does gravity affect your pencil if you let go of it in mid air?

Your pencil and the Earth both have mass. For that reason, there are always a pairof gravitational forces trying to pull the pencil and Earth together toward each other.Most of the time, you're holding onto the pencil and not letting them move towardeach other. But when you let go of the pencil, then both the pencil and the Earthare free to move. Then the Earth falls toward the pencil, and the pencil falls towardthe Earth. The motion stops when the floor and the pencil meet.
