Gravity magic

Classical Mechanics Level 1

Suppose we have tennis ball and heavy metal ball (the metal ball is much heavier than tennis ball) both are left to fall (free fall falling ) from above of a building at same time which will hit the ground first?

the heavy metal ball Not enough information tennis ball both will hit ground at same time

the acceleration in gravity is the same regardless the weight which is 9.81 (remember secondary kinematics laws if you want mathematically explains it :) )

Dude though i got the answer correct....but you should make some necessary changes to the question... First of all mention the drop is in either SPACE OR VACUUM as because presently this question is ambigous...In normal environment i.e. of earth due to the presence of air resistance the heavy metal ball will reach first..... hope you will consider my comment :)
