In a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time due to the acceleration due to gravity being the same for both objects. In reality, the shape and weight of the objects can affect how they fall, so it's difficult to predict which would hit the ground first.

What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?

Ignoring air resistance, both a leaf and a feather will hit the ground at the same time when dropped simultaneously, regardless of their weight. This is due to the gravitational acceleration acting equally on both objects.


Does a marble and a bowling ball hit the ground at the same time?

In a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time due to gravity. However, in the real world with air resistance, the bowling ball would typically hit the ground first because it has more mass and air resistance affects lighter objects more.


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.


A feather and a book are dropped in a vacuum which will hit the ground first?

BookAnswerIf you drop two objects of different mass, then they will fall at the same speed & rate. On Earth, the air will slow the fall of the paper due to air loads, so the book would hit the ground first. On the Moon, there is no or very little air, so they would both hit the ground at the same time.


A marble a textbook and a flaming stick are simultaneously dropped from a height of 10 feet if air resistance upon the falling objects is small enough that it can be neglected which will hit first?

All objects dropped from the same height will hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their mass or shape, as long as air resistance is negligible. Thus, the marble, textbook, and flaming stick will hit the ground simultaneously.

When a leaf and a coin are being dropped of the same time at the top of the building which of the two will hit the ground first and why?

A coin. It is heavier, and thus less affected by air resistance.

no


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.


Which one will hit the ground first when you have two cannonballs and one is dropped while the other is launched?

They both hit the ground at the same time.


Which would fall first soccer ball or marble?

Whichever you drop first will fall first and hit the ground first.If you drop them at exactly the same time from the sameplace, they fall together and hit the ground together.


If you drop a penny and a text book at the sametime. which one will hit the ground first?

If a penny and a text book were dropped in a vacuum then they will both hit the ground at the same time. This refers to Newton's laws. If they are dropped at the same time on earth then the text book would hit the ground first.


Is the batter allotted first base if hit after the ball hits the ground in softball?

In softball, if the batter is hit by a pitched ball after it has hit the ground, they are not awarded first base. The ball is considered a dead ball once it hits the ground, and the batter must avoid being hit by the ball. They are only awarded first base if the pitch is a strike and hits them directly without bouncing.

Why does aschenputtel ask her father for a twig?

She is not interested in fancy, expensive things. She is not greedy. She seems connected to the natural world. She is sweet and kind that she doesn't want her dad to get down from the wagon to bring her a twig by breaking it, instead, she wants the twig that will hit his hat, so that he doesn't have to do a lot of work.
