You drop two balls of equal diameter from the same height at the same time. Ball 1 is made of metal and has a greater mass than ball 2, which is made of wood. The upward force due to air resistance is the same for both balls. Is the drop time of ball 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the drop time of ball 2? Explain why

The drop time ball 1 is less than the drop time of ball 2. A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

The net force acting on the ball will be:

⇒

Here,

F = Force

m = mass

g = acceleration

Now,

According to the Newton's 2nd law of motion, we get

⇒

To find the value of "a", we have to substitute "" in the above equation,

⇒

⇒    

We can see that, the acceleration is greater for the greater mass of less for the lesser mass. Thus the above is the appropriate solution.

Both the ball takes equal time to reach to the ground.  

Explanation:

Two balls of same diameter

Let the height is h.

Mass of ball 1 is more than the mass of ball 2.

The second equation of motion is

Here, the buoyant force due to air is same. So, the time of fall is independent of the mass.

So, both the ball takes equal time to reach to the ground.
