Yes... Its not the weight but the force of gravity

Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
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
Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first the same speed?
a golf ball obviously...
A 1.50 kg bal is dropped from a roof top 12.0m above the ground How long does the ball take to reach the ground?
1.56 seconds
Which will fall first in vacuum paper or stone?
Depends on which one is dropped first. If they are both dropped at the same time, they will both reach the ground at the same time.
If a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously in vacuum fron the same height which of two will reach the ground first?
They will both hit the ground at the same time.
Which will hit the ground first a ball thrown horizontally at 2 meters per second off a building 20 m high or a ball dropped by a hand at the same height?
They should reach the ground together, since their initial vertical speed is the same, namely zero.
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.
Why do dropped objects of different masses reach the ground at the same time in air?
Because of gravity, objects fall at 9.7m/s making them reach the ground at the same time. This does not apply to objects like paper or feathers due to the fluid friction in the air.
Will two free balls bodies wit different weights reach ground together?
Yes
What would be the change for a 10 gram object dropped from a 20 meter building if it takes 2 seconds to reach the ground?
There is no reason for the object to change.
How long will it take an object dropped off the Leaning Tower of Pisa to reach the ground?
It depends plus, you can't go to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa.
