If a baseball and a cannonball are dropped from the same height at the same time which ball will hit the ground first?

If there is no air, the same exact time. But because its on earth, the less dense and less aerodynamic one will land slightly after. Acceleration is about -9.8 meters per second every second

Why does a body exerts more force on ground when it is dropped from a certain height than when it at rest at the ground although in both the cases mass and acceleration is constant See discussion too?
Interesting question. But when the object is at rest the potential energy of the object is 0, on the surface that is. When it is on a height h it's potential energy increase and when it is dropped from that height all that potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy just before hitting the ground. This extra force comes from this kinetic energy.
If there were no air resistance how did the speeds of a feather and a penny compare?
If there was no air resistance and a feather and a penny were dropped from the same height they would both pick up speed by the same amount and they would hit the ground at the same speed and at the same time.
Why don't all the marbles dropped from a specific height land in the same spot?
If they are dropped in a totally controlled manner then they would land in the same spot. However, if dropped by hand, there will be minor differences in the positions of the hand which will affect the outcomes.
Is height the proper term to use to measure how long a snake is?
Not really. Length is preferable, as height may be confused for the height the snake can raise itself above the ground under its own strength.
How Gravitational potential energy affected by height?
The higher off the ground something is, the greater its GPE is. GPE=mass x gravitatonal constant x height.
If a cannon fires a cannonball horizontally and you drop a cannonball at the same time which will hit the ground first?
A cannonball fired horizontally and one dropped from the height of the muzzle simultaneous with the shot will hit the ground at the same instant, provided only that the ground under the muzzle and the ground where the shot lands are at the same elevation, i.e. the shot was not fired off the edge of a cliff or into the side of a mountain. To solve this kind of problems, it often helps to separate the movement, or the speed, into vertical and horizontal components. In this case, the vertical component of the speed is the same.
How long will it take an object dropped from a height of 500 feet to hit the ground?
4 seconds
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.
If two object of different density are dropped simultaneously which one will hit the ground first?
as done in Galileo's experiment when he dropped a large rock and a feather from a tall tower both hit the ground at the same moment when dropped from the same height.
A ball was dropped on a top of the building and hits the ground after 15 s. What is the height of the building?
381 metres
Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?
Yes
Imagine you shot a cannonball and threw a baseball into the air at the same speed and to the same height Would the graphs of their paths be the same or different?
they would be in a vacuum
A tennis ball is dropped from 1.55 m above the ground It rebounds to a height of 0.824 mWith what velocity does it hit the ground?
31 m/s
If a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously in vacuum fron the same height which of two will reach the ground first?
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?
Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.
What is the height of a tower if a rock dropped from it hits the ground after falling for 2 seconds?
19.6 meters / 64.4 ft
What will hit the ground first a 1 pound steel ball or a 5 pound steel ball?
If dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same time.
