Objects with 3 kg, 9 kg and 27 kg mass drop on the same height which of them would touch the ground first?

Answer (1)

Answer:In the real world, with air resistance, the 27 kg mass would probably make contact with the ground first.The first thing to touch the ground would probably be the one with the smallest surface area to mass ratio. This is due to the fact that air resistance prevents falling objects from moving, and air resistance increases with surface area.The 27 kg mass would probably make contact with the ground first, assuming that the objects have comparable shapes and densities. This is because the force of gravity acting on it is much greater than the opposing force of air resistance because it has the largest mass in relation to its potential surface area.
