What will be the ratio of the velocities if two objects of masses M and m having same size are dropped simultaneously from heights H and h?

The mass shouldn't make any difference in an ideal system.
Using v^2=u^2+2as for each object, you get v=sqrt(2gH) and sqrt(2gh) for the two objects. The ratio will simplify to sqrt(H/h).

Do action and reaction forces act in succession or simultaneously?
Simultaneously, you can't pull on something unless it simultaneously, pulls back on you.
Damage is more when two bodies collide from opposite directions than when they collide at any other angle.Is it due to the momentum of the objects or their relative velocities?
It is due to the momentum of the two bodies.
Does the Universal Law of Gravitation say that any two objects in the universe will exert a gravitational force on each other?
They fall at the same speed even if the mass is different that is upon a vaccum mass wont matter velocities would be equal as gravity acts uniform to al objects.
What force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum?
I wasn't there, so I have no knowledge of how things were set up in that particular experiment. The only force I'm sure of is the force of gravity, and your use of the term "dropped" seems to confirm that assumption.
Where did Galileo carry out his first experiment on gravity?
In his gravity experiment Galileo dropped objects form the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy.
Will two objects that have the same mass that are dropped from two different heights meet at the same speed?
No because 'g' is irrespective of the object's mass.
A marble a textbook and a flaming stick are simultaneously dropped from a height of 10 feet if air resistance upon the falling objects is small enough that it can be neglected which will hit first?
They will hit the ground simultaneously. Gravitational pull is the same on all matter.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of intertia?
If the objects have different velocities they will have different inertia.
How do the velocities of unbalanced weights compared?
When dropped the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it falls. The size and shape may affect the wind resistance which affects falling velocity but heavier objects will not fall faster than lighter objects with all other variables constant.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of inertia?
Different velocities is what causes objects to have the same mass and different amounts of inertia. This can be written in a formula.
A marble a textbook and a flaming stick are simultaneously dropped from a height of 10 feet Supposing air resistance upon the falling objects is small enough that it can be neglected which will hit?
Without air resistance? All three will hit the ground at the same time.
Do action and reaction forces act in succession or simultaneously?
Simultaneously, you can't pull on something unless it simultaneously, pulls back on you.
Do objects dropped from greater distance hit with a greater force?
Yes. In the formula P=mv, momentum, which governs the force of the impact, is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the velocity. As the velocity increases, so does the momentum, therefore the greater the height dropped from, the greater the force of impact.
How do you find final velocity given mass of both objects and there initial velocities and one of their final velocities?
Suppose the two masses are m1 and m2. Their initial velocities are u1 and u2 and final velocities are v1 and v2. Then, using conservation of momentum. m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2 Both m1 and m2 are given. Their initial velocities u1 and u2 are given and one of the two final velocities v1 and v2 is given which leaves only one unknown. So substitute all those values and calculate away.
What objects could you measure by centimeters?
Peoples' heights, Size of furniture, fabrics
Why do different objects make different sounds when dropped on the floor?
Because all the objects have a natural frequency
When two objects of the same mass drop from different heights do they land at the same time?
No
