If dropped from the same height, they both will reach the ground at the same time. The acceleration of gravity is the same for all objects regardless of mass. The only thing that would change this would be air resistance on the balls, which is assumed to be negligible for objects of comparable sizes.

If a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously in vacuum fron the same height which of two will reach the ground first?

In vacuum, both the stone and the pencil would fall at the same rate due to gravity and there would be no air resistance to affect their acceleration. Therefore, both the stone and the pencil would reach the ground at the same time.


Would a crumple paper ball or rectangular shape paper reach the ground?

Both the crumpled paper ball and the rectangular shape paper would reach the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height in a vacuum. This is because in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate due to gravity.


Will a baseball or basketball reach the ground first?

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 feather and a nail reach the ground at the same time?

No, a feather and a nail would not reach the ground at the same time if dropped at the same height in a vacuum. This is because the feather experiences more air resistance, slowing its fall compared to the nail which falls faster due to its higher mass.


When You Drop An Object From A Certain Height It Takes Time T To Reach The Ground With No Air Resistance. If You Dropped It From Three Times That Height How Long Would It Take To Reach The Ground?

When an object is dropped from a certain height, the time it takes to reach the ground is independent of the height (assuming no air resistance). Therefore, whether you drop the object from three times the initial height or the original height, it will still take the same time (T) to reach the ground.

What would touch the ground first a feather or an paperclip?

In a vacuum they would reach the ground at the same time (assuming they are released at the same time and from the same height). When not in a vacuum, however, air resistance is acting on both items - and so the paperclip would touch the ground first.
