What happens when two objects of different masses are dropped in a vacuum?Why?

OpenStudy (jh3power):

They land on the ground at the same time, since there is no resistance of air and gravity is the only force at the time to the objects. Gravity is directly proportional to the mass, while the acceleration is directly proportional to the force and is also inversely proportional to the mass.(F=ma) So the acceleration is the same.
