Absolutely nothing. Wind and air molecules can play an effect only if the distance of the ball falling is great. Beach balls are filled with air and the wind can easily manipulate it. But if you take a Bowling ball and a Golf ball to the top of the empire state building and released them at the same time, they would hit the ground at almost the exact same time because gravity is is not proportional to weight.

∙ 13y agoAnswer A large mass takes more energy to accelerate than a smaller mass.
When a certain force it applied for a certain time, the impulse is given by the equation.
I = mv
I= impulse (energy)
m= mass
v = velocity(speed)
If the impulse is constant a smaller mass will result in more velocity and vice-versa.

∙ 13y agoIdeally, they should both fall at the same rate. In a vacuum, they do fall at the same rate. In air, this MAY not be the same due to air resistance.
The lighter object might for instance be a sheet of paper and the heavier object might be a stone.
Be careful though. We cannot say that air resistance is greater on the sheet of paper than on the stone. It may be the opposite. But what is sure is that the acceleration on the sheet of paper decreases more rapidly to zero than the acceleration on the stone.

What falls faster a golf ball or ping pong ball?
In vacuum (no air) they both fall the same rate. In air, the golf ball falls faster because air resistance slows down the very light ping pong ball
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
because light ball have more air in them so they bounce higher
What is Newtons theory of gravity?
newton's belief of gravity is that he thought that the gravity is all the same, and even a light and heavy ball both falls at the same speed
You see the cricket ball hitting the bat first and then hear the sound?
Light travels faster (much faster) than sound.
What are the forces acting on the egg as it falls?
There are several, the strongest being gravity, followed by air resistance (stops the ball from going faster than about 120mph), there's also the force from light sources (light has momentum), friction at the surface of the ball between the air and the ball (not just resistance but generation of heat), and the changes in electromagnetic fields generated by the atoms of the ball itself.

What falls faster a tennis ball or soccer ball?
it would hit the ground if there was one to hit
Does the surface of a hill effect how fast a ball will roll down it?
Ir probably goes down faster if its heavier. If the ball was as light as a balloon, would it go faster? OF course not. So, a heavy ball would go MUCH faster down a hill.
What falls faster dry tennis ball or a wet tennis ball?
Wet, because in has more weight on it. If a tennis ball is wet it can't bounce it just falls and stays on the ground.
what will travel farther a heavy golf ball or a lighter one?
WHICH DRIVERWILL HIT THE GOLF BALL FARTHER- HEAVY OR LIGHT
There are 12 bowling balls 1 is of a different weight than the others find out which one it is in 3 steps?
Number the balls 1, 2, 3, ... 10, 11, 12 Start off with them in 3 groups: [1, 2, 3 and 4], [5, 6, 7 and 8] and [9,10,11 and 12] Weigh 1, 2, 3 and 4 vs 5, 6, 7 and 8 with 3 possible outcomes:1. If they balance then 9,10,11,12 have the odd ball, so weigh 6,7,8 vs 9,10,11 with 3 possible outcomes: 1a If 6,7,8 vs 9,10,11 balances, 12 is the odd ball. Weigh it against any other ball to determine if heavy or light. 1b If 9,10,11 is heavy then they contain a heavy ball. Weigh 9 vs 10, if balanced then 11 is the odd heavy ball, else the heavier of 9 or 10 is the odd heavy ball. 1b If 9,10,11 is light then they contain a light ball. Weigh 9 vs 10, if balanced then 11 is the odd light ball, else the lighter of 9 or 10 is the odd light ball. 2. If 5,6,7,8 > 1,2,3,4 then either 5,6,7,8 contains a heavy ball or 1,2,3,4 contains a light ball so weigh 1,2,5 vs 3,6,12 with 3 possible outcomes: 2a If 1,2,5 vs 3,6,12 balances, then either 4 is the odd light ball or 7 or 8 is the odd heavy ball. Weigh 7 vs 8, if they balance then 4 is the odd light ball, or the heaviest of 7 vs 8 is the odd heavy ball. 2b If 3,6,12 is heavy then either 6 is the odd heavy ball or 1 or 2 is the odd light ball. Weigh 1 vs 2, if balanced then 6 is the odd heavy ball, or the lighest of 1 vs 2 is the odd light ball. 2c If 3,6,12 is light then either 3 is light or 5 is heavy. Weigh 3 against any other ball, if balanced then 5 is the odd heavy ball else 3 is the odd light ball. 3. If 1,2,3,4 > 5,6,7,8 then either 1,2,3,4 contains a heavy ball or 5,6,7,8 contains a light ball so weigh 5,6,1 vs 7,2,12 with 3 possible outcomes: 3a If 5,6,1 vs 7,2,12 balances, then either 8 is the odd light ball or 3 or 4 is the odd heavy ball. Weigh 3 vs 4, if they balance then 8 is the odd light ball, or the heaviest of 3 vs 4 is the odd heavy ball. 3b If 7,2,12 is heavy then either 2 is the odd heavy ball or 5 or 6 is the odd light ball. Weigh 5 vs 6, if balanced then 2 is the odd heavy ball, or the lighest of 5 vs 6 is the odd light ball. 3c If 7,2,12 is light then either 7 is light or 1 is heavy. Weigh 7 against any other ball, if balanced then 1 is the odd heavy ball else 7 is the odd light ball.
What will be the color of blue ball when green light falls on it?
blue
In table tennis if you hit the ball hard do you need a light or heavy bat?
simply answers please just answer Heavy or Light
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
because light ball have more air in them so they bounce higher
Light is faster than sound Why you see a ball hit before you hear it?
Because the light traveled faster then the sound of it hitting the ground.
What is Newtons theory of gravity?
newton's belief of gravity is that he thought that the gravity is all the same, and even a light and heavy ball both falls at the same speed
Why does bowling ball goes faster than basketball?
Rolled? Thrown? How heavy of a bowling ball? And the speed of a ball depends on how hard a person throws it. It is hard to answer such a general question.
