a)They would hit the ground at the same time.
b)bowling ball. c)They would be suspended in the vaccum. d)flat piece of paper. ​

Answer 1

We conclude that if a flat piece of paper or blowing ball is dropped from the same height, They would hit the ground at the same time.

Thus,

option a) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is no air in the space, it is basically a vacuum.

• In other words, the vacuum can be termed as a 'space devoid of matter'.

So, when there is no air in space, it means there is no force that can act on the body.

• Therefore, no matter what objects (heavy or light) we may drop from the same height, they would all hit the ground at the same time.

As there is no force that can act on an object in the vacuum, it means every object in the vacuum seems to stand still while falling.

Therefore, we conclude that if a flat piece of paper or blowing ball is dropped from the same height, They would hit the ground at the same time.

Thus,

option a) is correct.
