Question

Suppose there is still air. Now a stone, a piece of paper and a coconut are dropped from a height. Which one of the things will fall first?

• A. Stone
• B. Paper
• C. Coconut
• D. All will fall simultaneously

Answer 1

The correct option is D All will fall simultaneously

Acceleration due to gravity $\left(g\right)$ acts on the objects downwards so that the objects fall in downward direction. But this acceleration due to gravity $(g=9.8m/s^2)$ is same for all the objects and thus all the objects fall with same rate irrespective of their masses.

Hence stone, a piece of paper and a coconut will fall simultaneously when they are dropped from a height.
