Gravity has the same amount of gravitation pull that keeps us from falling of the earth. Think of it this way the gravity on earth keeps skyskrapers from falling off the earth just as easy as it is to keep a pencil from falling of the earth so if you drop the two at the same time and height they will both hit the ground at the same time "unless'' it is air resistent meaning that the flow of air will go through it such as paper. :)

Will a fast ball hit the floor faster than a slow ball when it falls off a table?
If two balls just fall off a table, none will be faster than the other.If one of the balls initially has a horizontal speed, and the other doesn't, or if one is faster in the horizontal direction than the other, then they should reach the floor at the same time.
If a ball falls freely is the distance it falls each second the same?
No. When the ball falls, there are two forces acting on it; one is the gravitational force and the other air resistance, which is dependant on speed. At the point it is released. Its instantaneous speed is 0m/s The next second, 10m/s, (result of acceleration). the ball will undergo decreasing acceleration. Thus the distance it falls each second is different.
Which one would go faster with the same kinectic energy bowling ball or a golf ball?
Kinetic energy is a function of mass and velocity. Therefore, an object with more mass, such as a bowling ball, would have to go slower than an object with less mass, such as a golf ball. So, if given the same amount of kinetic energy, a bowling ball will go faster than a golf ball, because it has more mass.
If 2 balls are dropped from different floors of a building which ball has greater acceleration?
The one that was dropped from the higher floor cause freefalling objects get faster and faster with more flight time
What makes a bouncy ball bounce so well?
There are several reason why a bouncy ball bounce so high one being the rubber material used to make the ball is able to stretch out and flatten a little and then retain its shape. The other major reason is physics, the energy created when the ball falls to the ground.
What falls faster a tennis ball or soccer ball?
it would hit the ground if there was one to hit
What falls faster dry tennis ball or a wet tennis ball?
Wet, because in has more weight on it. If a tennis ball is wet it can't bounce it just falls and stays on the ground.

When a ball falls does it appear to fall in what direction?
One Direction.
Would a solid steel ball drop faster than a solid steel ball?
Yes and no. When it 'falls' out of a cannon/musket, the solid steel ball will fall at an significantly speedier rate than that of a conventional solid steel ball not emerging from a cannon/musket housing. But sometimes the other solid steel ball will drop slightly faster than the solid steel ball as well. No one knows why really. It's a mystery. :-) (don't know what this question was supposed to mean but that was fun, lol)
Can you hit a ball faster then you can throw one?
it's possible
Why did john love build the pencil sharpener?
To make life easier and convienient for everyone. no one wanted to whittle away at their pencil every five seconds (exaggeration here!), so the pencil sharpener made sharpening faster, straighter and perfecter.

Does a small or a large ball travel faster in wind?
Well it all depends on what types really, if they are both of the same, then the big one will roll faster. Lets say for example, you had a big kick ball and a little kick ball, the big will roll faster in the wind. Sorry about the second post, but i almost forgot, it also depends on how big the ball is, because if it's MUCH larger then it will not roll faster, and if it too small, it will hardly roll as well. So as long they are close in size the big one will roll/travel faster
How do you find the one eye ball on gravity falls mystery shack game?
in the jar of eyes in the shop
What ball will fall to the ground faster basketball or soccer ball?
weight doesnt matter, the bigger one, which has the higher resistance will fall a tiny bit slower
How can a thrown ball be measured?
place measuring tape on the ground. you be on one end of the tape and someone else on the other side. throw the ball towards the other person and when the ball falls they tell you how far it was thrown.
