Problem

Two balls P (mass 50 g50\,\text{g}) and Q (mass 200 g200\,\text{g}) are dropped together from the roof of a building. Neglecting air resistance, which statement is correct? (a) QQ reaches the ground first because its greater weight makes it accelerate faster. (b) Both balls reach the ground at different times but attain the same velocity. (c) Both balls reach the ground together and with equal velocities. (d) Both balls reach the ground together but QQ has a greater velocity than PP.
