Feather a tennis ball and a bowling ball are dropped from a high tower on the moon's surface Which object hits the ground first?

Because the earth is bigger than both so they get pulled down with gravity at the same time

What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?
Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.
Will a16 lb bowling ball and a 10 lb bowling ball dropped together reach the ground together?
Yes... Its not the weight but the force of gravity
Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?
Yes
If a hammer and feather were dropped simultaneously from the same height on the asteroid Ceres which would hit the ground first?
They would hit the surface together, after a very long time. Gravity on Ceres is pretty light.
If two object of different density are dropped simultaneously which one will hit the ground first?
as done in Galileo's experiment when he dropped a large rock and a feather from a tall tower both hit the ground at the same moment when dropped from the same height.
What is the velocity of a 50 gram egg dropped 3 meters off the ground right before it hits the ground?
Ignoring the effects of air resistance, the velocity of any object dropped near the surface of the Earth is 29.42 meters (96.53 feet) per second, directed downward, after it has fallen 3 meters. If you're working with situations and asking questions like this one, then you're supposed to know by now that the mass or weight of the object makes no difference. If you can eliminate air resistance, then the answer is the same for a feather, a bowling ball, and a battleship.
Will the bowling ball and piece of paper fall at the same rate?
If you stand at the top of the bowling alley with a feather in one hand and a bowling ball in the other and drop them at the same time, the bowling ball will hit the parking lot first because wind currents will cause the feather to drift slowly.
Would feather and a nail reach the ground at the same time?
On Earth, no. Air resistance would slow the feather way down. However, dropped on somewhere without an atmosphere (like the moon), they would reach the ground at the same time.
What is the bowling ball and soccer ball thing again on newtons second law of motion?
A bowling ball and a soccer ball, dropped from the same height will hit the ground at exactly the same time.
True or false if you drop a feather and a bowling ball from a three story building at the same time the bowling ball hits the ground first?
In a vacuum, both will hit at the same time. The bowling ball will do so in normal atmosphere due to the friction of the air.
On the Moon if a basketball and a feather are dropped from the same height about the ground which one hits first?
both reaches the ground at the same time because in the moon there occurs free fall.
Why are bowling balls heavy?
So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.
