Why a leaf take a longer time to reach to the ground than an apple?

Because they're both falling through air, and the leaf has to slip and slide through
the air.
If you drop a leaf and an apple in a tube with no air inside ... and also add a Bowling ball,
a parachute, a rock, and a feather if you want to ... they all fall at the same rate, and
hit the bottom at the same time.

What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?
leaf
Make a sentence using the word gravity?
The leaf fell to the ground due to the affects of gravity.
A leaf falls from a tree Compare its kinetic energy K to its potential energy U?
The Kinetic energy (K) is at the least when the leaf is still attached to the tree; it's Potential energy (U) is at its greatest. As the leaf falls, its K increases as its U decreases. This continues to happen until the leaf can no longer move. This will happen when something like the Earth (a large object with much more mass and much more energy) pushes against it. The Earth has more energy so the leaf comes to a stop on its surface.
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.
If every object has the same acceleration why does a leaf fall slower than a rock?
air resistance, on the moon they did an experiment where they dropped a hammer and a feather at the same height and time and they hit the ground at the same time
When you throw an apple and a leaf on the ground the apple falls first Why?
The leaf does not fall straight down. It falls slowly because of air resistance. The air provides upward force. The upward force on the apple is negligible.
