What happens when a marble and a ball bearing of the same size and mass are dropped from the same height?

In the absence of air, they would have the same acceleration after dropping
from any height at any time. It would be 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 ...
the acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface.
In air, the acceleration of the marble would be somewhat more than the
acceleration of the Basketball, regardless of when or from what height
either one fell.

∙ 11y agoBoth the marbles would retreat with the same speed, unless they're the same
size and the collision is exactly head-on. In that case, they both stop dead.

No they could not become to a stop due to such collision whether head-on or inclined as energy is always conserved.

∙ 9y agoBecause the acceleration due to gravity is equal for both of them. However, a basketball has more air resistance than the marble does, so it will slow down a bit where the marble will be slowed less.

Why does paper fall slower than a marble when dropped from the same height?
The paper has more surface area and therefore more air resistance than the marble does. If you wad up the sheet of paper in a tight ball, you'll see very little difference in the falling speed.
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.
Does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a marble?
Yes.The higher the ramp the faster.
How tall was a tree when a marble is dropped from a tree and hits the ground in 2.3 second?
The tree was 26.5 m tall.
Is it possible to predict the speed of a marble after rolling down a ramp if you know the height of the ramp?
no impossible
Suppose a baseball and a marble are dropped at the time from the same height which ball would land first?
Discounting any friction with the air, they would both hit the ground at the same time.
What energy does a marble have when it is dropped?
Kinetic energy is moving energy

What happens if you put a marble in a half glass of water?
The marble will sink.
Not choosing a green marble?
green marble is not fit for home because you can't find small thinks if it dropped on the floor.
Why does the height affect the loop on a marble rollercoaster?
I would have gravitational potential energy, which is energy due to height.
What is the height marble statue of a youthful Hercules?
Approximately 8"1'

They will hit the ground simultaneously. Gravitational pull is the same on all matter.
What happens when an acid falls on a marble?
When acid falls on marble surface bubbles of carbon dioxide are released
What purpose did a sarcophagus?
It is a stone or marble coffin generally bearing inscriptions or sculpture. It is often displayed as a monument
How to check level with out using tube Or spirit level?
Place a ball bearing or marble on it, see if it rolls.
How much dent is formed when a marble is dropped from 50 cm into sand?
Depends on the density of the marble, as well as its weight. And on the dryness and sizes of the sand particles. Try out a few experiments.
