If a tennis ball, a golf ball, and a bowling ball are all dropped from the same height at the same time, which ball will hit the ground first? (Pretend that there is no air resistance on the balls.)

If a flat sheet of paper and a rock are dropped at the same time on Earth (with air resistance), which will hit the ground first? Why?

If a flat sheet of paper and a rock are dropped at the same time on a planet with no air (and therefore no air resistance), which will hit the ground first? Why?

Air resistance acts in the opposite direction of gravity. Gravity pulls objects downward, while air resistance creates a force that pushes against the motion of an object traveling through the air. This resistance slows down the object's motion and acts in the opposite direction of the force of gravity.

resistance opposes the motion of an object through the air, so it acts in the opposite direction of gravity.

A skydiver falling without a parachute would experience more air resistance than a skydiver falling with a parachute. This is because the surface area of the skydiver without a parachute is greater, leading to more air molecules colliding with their body and creating a greater resistance force. The parachute, on the other hand, has a large surface area that spreads out the force of air resistance, allowing the skydiver to descend more slowly with less resistance.

If there is no air resistance acting on the balls, then all three balls will hit the ground at the same time. This is because in the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on the balls is gravity, and all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of their mass. Therefore, all three balls will have the same acceleration and will hit the ground simultaneously when dropped from the same height at the same time.

The rock will hit the ground first. This is because the rock has more mass and therefore more inertia than the flat sheet of paper. Air resistance will have a greater effect on the lighter and less dense paper, slowing it down more than the rock as they both fall. As a result, the rock will hit the ground before the paper.

On a planet with no air resistance, both the flat sheet of paper and the rock would hit the ground at the same time. This is because in the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or size. This is due to the fact that the only force acting on the objects is gravity, which causes all objects to accelerate towards the ground at the same rate, regardless of their individual characteristics. Therefore, both the flat sheet of paper and the rock would hit the ground simultaneously in the absence of air resistance.
