The masses of the two objects are the same, but they are affected differently by air resistance.
The masses of the two objects are the same, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe.
The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe.

The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects.
The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects.

The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

Answer 1

The most accurate explanation for the scenario is:

The masses of the two objects are the same, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

In reality, the shoe and shirt will experience different amounts of air resistance based on their shapes, sizes, and surface areas, which affects the time each takes to reach the ground. The difference in their aerodynamic properties leads to different falling times despite being released from the same height.
