Two objects of different mass are released simultaneously from the top of a 20-m tower and fall to the ground. If air resistance is negligible, which statement best applies? The answer can be identified by considering the kinematic equations.

The greater mass hits the ground first.

Both objects hit the ground together.

The smaller mass hits the ground first.
