What if I throw two objects upward with different mass, but in the same velocity and height, will the time needed for them to reach the ground be the same? The only difference is their mass.

Take a marble, a ball, and a spoon and drop them from the same height. Do they hit the floor at the same time? Now drop a spoon and a piece of paper, does it behave like the other objects? Explain your observations.

Drop two balls of different masses from the same height, and, at low speeds, they practically fall together. Will they roll together down the same inclined plane? If each is suspended from an equal length of string, making a pair of pendulums, and displaced through the same angle, will they swing back and forth in unison? Try it and see; then explain using Newton's laws.
