When there is no air resistance objects of different masses dropped from rest?

I like this one! If there is no air, then objects dropped from the same height at
the same time, on any planet and regardless of their mass, will all accelerate
at the same rate, have the same speed at any instant, and hit the ground at
the same instant. That's true of a car, a feather, a Bowling ball, or anything.

∙ 12y agofall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed in the same amount of time,
and hit the ground with the same speed

∙ 13y agothe mass makes no difference to the velocity or acceleration of the object, the acceleration will always be approx. 9.81m/s^2

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.
Do objects with different masses fall at the same rate?
if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).
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 different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
How do you know there is air resistance?
If you drop two objects that have congruent shapes, similar masses, but dissimilar densities, they fall at different rates. The difference is due to the air resistance (which is greater on the less dense object, it is larger).

What happens when identical objects are dropped on planets with different gravitational conditions?
Without the interference of air or any other force, they should fall at the same speed. All objects accelerate at the same rate regarding their masses. To conclude, If this was made in a vacuum they should fall at the same speed but in different conditions it may have different results due to air resistance.
What must be absent for two objects of drastically different masses to fall at the exact same speed if they rely only on gravity?
air resistance
Why different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
If two objects have different masses they also would have different?
no

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.
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
What are the different types of inertia?
(1) The general concept of inertia, according to newton's first laws, concerning objects' masses when it comes to resistance. (2) Rotational inertia (3) Gyroscopic inertia
