Question

Two balls are dropped at the same time from the top of a ladder. The balls are of equal size, but Ball A has more mass than Ball B. Which of the following best describes the time it would take the two balls to hit the ground?

(Note: Ignore the effects of friction.)
A.
Ball A and Ball B would hit the ground at the same time.
B.
Ball B would hit the ground before Ball A.
C.
There is not enough information given to answer the question.
D.
Ball A would hit the ground before Ball B.

Answer 1

(Note: Ignore the effects of friction.) - important note :)

A.
Ball A and Ball B would hit the ground at the same time.

Answer 2

A. Ball A and Ball B would hit the ground at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we ignore the effects of friction only gravity affects the drop of the balls; in this case, mass does not affect the speed of falling objects. This result was demonstrated by Galileo Galilei.
