Question

Answer 3

Noooooo. False

Answer 4

Not at all. Two objects falling from the same place despite their weight differences will hit the ground at the same time. You can test this theory by taking a tennis ball and a golf ball and standing on a table. Hold your arms out at the same height and drop the objects. If your arms are held at the same height the balls will hit the ground at the same time. The times when this would not occur is if one object is flat paper and the other object is a ball. The paper will have more resistance because of its shape.
