The value that is the same for the two rocks is **the time it takes for the rocks to fall**.
In a vacuum (where there is no air resistance), both rocks would hit the ground at the same time regardless of their mass. However, if there is air resistance present, the larger rock may experience less relative air resistance due to its weight and shape, which can affect its fall compared to the smaller rock.
Therefore, the time it takes for both rocks to fall (assuming they are dropped from the same height and at the same time) will be the same in the absence of significant air resistance effects.
