Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The time required to hit the ground depends on the acceleration of the object, which in this case (vacuum) is ‘g’, and is the same for all the three objects. Hence, all the three balls will hit the ground at the same time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which ball hits the ground first? Both balls hit the ground at the same time. This is because the vertical motion is completely independent of the horizontal motion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because Earth gives everything the exact same acceleration, objects with different masses will still hit the ground at the same time if they are dropped from the same height.
