Question

If a 1 kg ball and a 5 kg ball of the same size are dropped from a height of 3 m at the same time above the ground and air resistance is considered, will they fall at the same rate and why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

the 5kg ball will fall faster than the 1kg ball as gravity attracts heavy objects faster

Answer 2

The 5 kg ball will touch the ground. Because it has greater mass, than 1 kg ball, the value of F = Gm1m2/R^2 will increase. Thus, gravitational force between the 5 kg ball and the Earth will be greater than 1 kg ball.

Extra information: But if two balls kept in vacuum and the dropped at the same time, then the two balls could have touched the ground at the same time.
