In vacuum they reach ground exactly at the same time. In a medium other than vacuum the ball will reach ground first.

Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Would a crumple paper ball or rectangular shape paper reach the ground?
tHE BALL OF PAPER WOULD REACH THE GROUND FIRST. tHE RECTANGLE SHAPE WILL REACH LATER DUE TO THE AIR FOIL EFFECT(float down). iN A VACUUM THEY WOULD DROP THE SAME. Gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
A 1.50 kg bal is dropped from a roof top 12.0m above the ground How long does the ball take to reach the ground?
1.56 seconds
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.
Why will a rock and feather land on the ground at the same time?
They won't. Two nearly identical objects (equal-sized cubes for example) will land at the same time as long as they are heavy enough to overcome wind resistance. If you have a ten-pound ball and a twenty-pound ball, they will hit the ground at the same time. However, if you had a ball weighing less than an ounce and one weighing a pound, of course they will not hit the ground at the same time: the ball weighing less than an ounce wouldn't fall - it would be affected enough by wind resistance to slow down. If there was no air, the feather and the rock will hit the ground at the same time. Factoid.
If you drop a ball from 10 feet and 5 feet which will reach the ground first?
The ball which you drop from 5 feet will reach the ground first.
Feather a tennis ball and a bowling ball are dropped from a high tower on the moon's surface Which object hits the ground first?
Because the earth is bigger than both so they get pulled down with gravity at the same time
Why are bowling balls heavy?
So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.
Which ball drops to the ground faster?
They all drop at the same rate. Only objects that are fuzzy in some way drop slower because air resistance slows them a little. If there were no air, a feather and a cannon ball would drop at the exact same rate.
Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first the same speed?
a golf ball obviously...
Will the bowling ball and piece of paper fall at the same rate?
If you stand at the top of the bowling alley with a feather in one hand and a bowling ball in the other and drop them at the same time, the bowling ball will hit the parking lot first because wind currents will cause the feather to drift slowly.
Which will fall faster a feather or ping pong ball if dropped in a vacuum?
Both will fall at the same time in vacuum because there is no resistance.
If you were to drop a beach ball and a soccer ball off a tall building will the soccer ball fall faster then beach ball?
Probably. It has nothing to do with weight. Weight does not play a factor in how fast objects fall, however, size, wind resistance, and aerodynamics do. The bigger an object, the more air hits it going up as the object falls, and therefore slows its descent. Also, if you drop a feather off a building it will take a while to reach the ground, since the little hair-type things sticking out from the feather "catch" the air and slow it down. Then there is aerodynamics. The more aerodynamic an object is, the easier it can cut through the air, therefore, if you drop a very aerodynamic object off a building it will not take as long for it to reach the ground. In this case, we can assume both are pretty much the same shape, however, the beach ball is much larger, and catches the air on the way down. That's what makes it fall so much slower.
How do you get fast hands for dribbling a basketball?
You have to keep the ball low to the ground and you have do bend to. While your running dont keep the ball to close to the ground but enough to make it faster...
What moves faster a ball thrown down or a ball falling down?
A ball thrown down. The thrown ball will have a greater initial velocity and since they experience the same force of gravity, it will always be faster (until they both reach terminal velocity).
Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Why is a tennis ball warmer when you bounce it?
The transfer of energy from your racket and the ground to the ball causes its particles to move faster, which causes heat.
