If dropped from the same height (a few meters), they would appear to hit the ground at the same time, according to the experiments of Galileo. However, this neglects air resistance on the Basketball, which will slow it down more and cause it to hit the ground later (very slightly later). The Baseball, which has a smaller area and therefore less air resistance, will hit the ground first.

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.
Can a tornado cause damage without touching the ground?
Yes and no. The funnel of a tornado does not have to reach the ground for damaging winds to occur at ground level. However, if those winds reach the ground then the tornado has touched down even if the funnel hasn't.
How does the size of the parachute affect the time it takes for the parachute to reach the ground?
It affects the time taken to reach the ground because the larger the area of the parachute the slower its velocity will be and consequently changes how long it takes to reach the ground. The larger parachutes will obtain far more air then smaller parachutes and have more air resistance and drag force.

A cricket ball and a basketball are dropped at the same time from the top of the tallest building in the worldWhich one of the two balls will reach the ground first?
They will both hit the ground at approximately the same time. If the distance being travelled is great enough, then the objects will reach a terminal velocity. Ordinarily, the heavier object has the highest terminal velocity, which would mean that in this case the basketball would hit the floor first, as stated by Stoke's law. However, the diameter of the basketball compared to the cricket ball means it experiences more air resistance, resulting in both hitting the floor at approximately the same time.
Who should call a switch between two defensive basketball players?
The first to recognize that a pick block is formed or the first to discover that he can not make up ground and reach his match up. Switch is like saying help and sometimes the terms are used interchangeably.
