Can you hit a ball that hits the ground first?

Answer 1

a Golf ball because it is has a higher weight to cross sectional area ratio. ( weight to drag

) The inverse of this is why a bean will fall faster than a feather of the same weight.

Also a golf ball has divots that allow it to fly thru the air faster

Answer 2

they both hit the ground at the same time

Answer:

This is dependent on many conditions. Typically the answer is given as "they both hit the ground at the same time", however this depends on:

• is the ball thrown level to the starting point
• is the ball thrown in an atmosphere or vacuum
• how fast is the ball thrown (if thrown fast enough it will go into orbit and never hit the ground)
• is the ball thrown on an imaginary level plane or real world location like the surface of the Earth
• is the ball spinning (and which way) as a top down spin in the direction of travel will make the ball loft more than a no spin toss

Answer 3

Yes, but if it isn't swung at, it would be a Ball.

Answer 4

If dropped at the exact same time from the same height, while ignoring wind resistance, they should hit the ground at the same time.

Answer 5

If we drop from the same height,and neglect the air resistance,both hit at once.
