Their relative weights are irrelevant.

What happens when two objects with different masses are dropped under the same gravitational conditions?
They'll both hit the ground at the same time.
Why dropped objects hit the ground at the same time?
Dropped objects hit the ground at the same time (as long as they're dropped from the same height) because the acceleration of gravity is constant. On earth, it's 9.8 meters per second (32.2 feet per second) every second.
Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
Is it possible for light objects to fall first than heavy objects?
All objects will reach the ground when dropped or when they fall at approximately the exact same time except for paper.
Why do dropped objects of different masses reach the ground at the same time in air?
Because of gravity, objects fall at 9.7m/s making them reach the ground at the same time. This does not apply to objects like paper or feathers due to the fluid friction in the air.

What will hit the ground first a pencil or penny?
There are many factors that can affect the time for these objects to drop. The height at which each object is dropped is a factor since the height is proportional to time. if the height at which these objects are dropped are the same, then the time for them to drop to the floor is the same. Since the acceleration due to gravity at sea level is 9.81 m/s^2 for all objects no matter the mass, both objects will accelerate at the same rate which means they will reach the floor at the same rate. All in all, both the pencil and the penny will hit the ground at the same time.
What happens to two objects with the same mass that fall at the same time?
1 leaves a shoe in the tree.
A cricket ball and football are dropped simultaneously from the top of Qutub Minar then what happens?
They would hit the ground at the same time, Galileo dropped to balls with different masses and they both hit the ground at the exact same time.
What would happen if two objects fell at the same time with no air resistance?
If two objects on the same planet are dropped from the same place at the same time and there is no air resistance, they fall with the same acceleration, and they hit the ground at the same time with the same speed. Their size, mass, weight, temperature, color, political affiliation, race, creed, or sexual orientation make no difference.
What limits the speed of an object dropped in air?
Friction ... no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time ... something has to move, and that continual process may create heat and friction.
How do two objects fall at the same speed?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, ALL objects fall with the same acceleration near the surface of the earth, meaning that any two objects dropped at the same time will have the same velocity after the same time interval.
Do all objects fall to the Ground at the same rate?
They do if the only force acting on them is gravity. If there's any difference in the way two different objects fall, it's the effect of air resistance. If it were only up to gravity alone, then all objects would fall to the ground with the same acceleration. They would have the same speed after the same amount of time, and if they're dropped together, they would hit the ground at the same exact time.
