![]() ![]() Why does that happen? Why does a bowling ball and a baseball fall together and hit the ground at the same time? After all, the bowling ball weighs much more than the baseball. That's one of the reasons why I didn't drop a bowling ball. The answer is, yes, and it wasn't pretty. You're probably wondering whether one of those falling balls ever hit the camera down below where Catherine was standing. You ready to have some balls and the camera drop at you? We're ready. And you'll be looking out that little window at the world in front of you and the balls that are dropping as you drop with them. So, it'll plummet down to the ground in a somewhat controlled way, with springs at the bottom so that it, it comes to a safe a safe stop near the ground. So here, I've got a frame with a camera mounted on it, and Catherine and I are going to let this frame fall down a pair of strings. Now, I'm not going to take you and drop you with a bunch of balls, but I can allow you to take that trip with this gadget. Not only do all balls fall together, but if you were to begin falling with them, you would keep pace perfectly. So here, we have a tennis ball and a basketball, we'll see whether they fall together. So, returning then to the balls and this question whether it's a basketball, a tennis ball, a handball, a golf ball or a baseball, if you drop them together, they all fall together. But don't try to apply the same story to a sheet of paper because the sheet of paper is really affected a lot by air resistance. Now remember, we're neglecting air resistance, which is a pretty good approximation for balls that you just drop in front of you.

The simple but remarkable answer to that question is, that all balls fall at the same rate. ![]() Many historical player head shots courtesy of David Davis.
