If two object have different weight falling from 100 M , would they reach to the earth at the same time?

what does it make difference to the answer if we take or not take the air frication into account?If two object have different weight falling from 100 M , would they reach to the earth at the same time?
If the two objects have different weight and ignoring air resistance, they will reach the earth at the same time. If you take air friction in consideration, an object with higher air resistance due to its shape and surface roughness, will reach the earth later.If two object have different weight falling from 100 M , would they reach to the earth at the same time?
If you ignore air resistance, or air friction, they will hit the ground at the same time. This was a famous experiment Galileo did off the Tower of Pisa.





However, if you include air resistance, a feather will obviously fall slower than a boulder.
they will fall to earth at the same time. this was proved by Galileo. air friction becomes an issue when the shape of the objects is taken in account, not their weight.
yes ... 2 types of balls where dropped from the leaning tower in italy and they both hit the floor at exactly the same time ... hope i helped
