Answer:

If there was no air resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that free fall is a unique motion in which gravity only works on one object. Objects that are said to be free-falling do not experience a significant force of air resistance; They come under the sole effect of gravity. Under such conditions, all objects fall under the same acceleration, regardless of their mass.
