It depends on their relative air resistance. If air resistance were not a factor, the objects would actaully all fall at the same rate. Astronauts confirmed this during a lunar landing by dropping a hammer and a feather. Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, which ordinarily greatly reduces the rate at which a feather will fall, the hammer and the feather fell at the same rate.
No matter how massive an object, if wind resistance is not factored in, all objects fall at the same rate on the earth's surface. Higher-mass objects will have more momentum because of their mass (and thus do more damage if they hit something), but have the same 9.8 meters/second2 acceleration on the surface of Earth due to gravity.

If 2 balls of different masses are propelled vertically upward at the same speed from the same height which will hit the ground first?
They'll both reach the top of their arcs, turn around, and begin to fall at the same time, fall with the same acceleration, and hit the ground at the same time with the same speed.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a sky diver's fall?
It slows down their fall so when they reach the ground their legs or any other part of the body will not be broken.
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 does a ball fall when thrown?
Because it is heaver than the air. Earth attracts all bodies towards its center. So when a body is thrown upwards it rises to height and fall downwards.
What is uniform for an object falling from a height and non uniform?
Ignoring air resistance, the mass, weight, color, acceleration and direction of such a body are constant, whereas its speed is not. Note: "A height" is the only place from which an object can fall.
Who was the first explorer to reach the James river fall line?
The first explorer to reach James river fall line was Christopher Newport.

What happens when you release a ball from a height at rest?
It will fall with increasing velocity due to gravity and reach the peak velocity just before hitting the ground.

What are some good halo books?
fall of the reach and the flood First strike is the best by far.
What happens to the distance you fall during each second?
If you fall from a very considerable height then initially the distance that you fall will increase with each second that you fall. However, air resistance increases markedly with speed and this causes your acceleration to decrease so that you reach a maximum speed (terminal velocity)

In vacuum they reach ground exactly at the same time. In a medium other than vacuum the ball will reach ground first.
When you fall down what happens to the skeletal system?
it depends upon the height and distance. if we fall from a height we may get fractures in the bones or severe injuries. if we fall from a less height we may not get such injuries.
How do you reach level five in fusion fall?
To level up you have to first get the bar up. Then, you have to go and do the mission.
