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

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

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

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

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