Book
AnswerIf you drop two objects of different mass, then they will fall at the same speed & rate. On Earth, the air will slow the fall of the paper due to air loads, so the book would hit the ground first. On the Moon, there is no or very little air, so they would both hit the ground at the same time.

Which is faster to reach ground feather or ball in free fall?
In vacuum they reach ground exactly at the same time. In a medium other than vacuum the ball will reach ground first.
Why the coin touches the ground first than a feather?
Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
If a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously in vacuum fron the same height which of two will reach the ground first?
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?
leaf
What would fall first a rock or a feather?
The mass is irrelevant, the only factor that effects how fast anything falls on earth is air resistance. The feathers obviously have more air resistance than the rocks and so the rocks will fall faster. If this was done in a vacuum however one gram of feathers would fall at the same rate as a tone of rocks.

Which will fall first in vacuum paper or stone?
Depends on which one is dropped first. If they are both dropped at the same time, they will both reach the ground at the same time.
If two object of different density are dropped simultaneously which one will hit the ground first?
as done in Galileo's experiment when he dropped a large rock and a feather from a tall tower both hit the ground at the same moment when dropped from the same height.
What would touch the ground first a feather or an paperclip?
In a vacuum they would reach the ground at the same time (assuming they are released at the same time and from the same height). When not in a vacuum, however, air resistance is acting on both items - and so the paperclip would touch the ground first.
If a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously in vacuum fron the same height which of two will reach the ground first?
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
On the Moon if a basketball and a feather are dropped from the same height about the ground which one hits first?
both reaches the ground at the same time because in the moon there occurs free fall.
If you drop a penny and a text book at the sametime. which one will hit the ground first?
If a penny and a text book were dropped in a vacuum then they will both hit the ground at the same time. This refers to Newton's laws. If they are dropped at the same time on earth then the text book would hit the ground first.
What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?
Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather here on earth?
The feather would reach the earth first dumb@$$
What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?
leaf
How do gravity affect any pair of objects?
the object with the greater mass will fall to the ground first. if you think of a hammer and a feather the hammer will obviously fall first. unless your in a vacuum. then the objects fall at an equal rate!
