In sake of an arguement I really really need this question answered A. S. A. P. PLEEEEASE. . . . . . Question is if a person takes a bowling ball and a feather to the top of a building and drops both at the same time!!! Would one hit the ground b4 the other or would they hit at the same time. If so why ??? Thank You Sooooo Much to Whom ever answers this quesiton Correctly. . . Have a GREAT DaY
You drop a bowling ball and a feather at the same time same distance which one would hits ground 1st ?

On the earth, it would be the ball, not because of differences in mass, but because the feather would encounter air resistance.
On their weight, they will both land at exactly the same time, which is the mass physics, but as there is much more air resistance to the feather slowing it down, the ball will land first.
Depends if you’re in a vaccum or not. Theoretically if you are, then both would land at the same time. As you’re not (I assume!), the ball would fall faster because of less resistance.
At the top of the building the potential energy for Wbb=MbbxHxg,&
Wf=MfxgxH.Air rseistance=KV^2,By the rule of thumb
[Wbb - Kbb(V)^2] is >> than Wf-K(V)^2,so 1/2Mbb(Vbb)^2 >>1/2Mf(Vf)^2,
