The bowling ball would drop first, because it's heavier than the marble. The lighter an object is the slower it will drop.

I would observe both of them hitting the bottom at the same time. I can't really remember the theory, but I know theres an exact name for it. I believe it has to do something with object's mass... gravity?

Both of the balls would drop at the same time because the gravity force would be the smae for both

I think they would fall at the same time because, Gravity makes them fall at the same time.

I would observe the way each ball's weight would effect the drop, which would drop to the ground first, and the speed it drops. I would also observe the way Mr. Arnold drops the balls and see if that effects the results.

The bowling ball would go faster down because the heavy they are, the harder they fall. The bowling ball would crack and break.

I would observe the speed of the fall and when the bowling ball and marble hit the ground. I think it would hit the ground at the same time because the gravity is the same.

I think the bowling ball would drop first because it has more wight, to it so the force it to pull it down. The marble would take longer because it is lighter so the force would not bring it down has fast.

I think they would both fall and hit the ground at the same speed because, quoting scientist Galileo Galilei, "the time that objects hit the ground is constant".

I think that if you dropped a bowling ball and a marble, the bowling ball would drop first because it is a lot heavier and has more mass which makes it go faster when it is being dropped. If you have ever dropped a piece of paper, you notice that it takes some time to drop. Put if you drop a whole stack of paper it drops hard on the ground because of the weight.

I think they would both land at the same time because gravity is pulling them down at the same rate. The only two objects that would land at different rate is a crumpled piece of paper and a flat piece of paper. The flat piece of paper would land later because it catches air.

If you dropped a marble and a bowling ball from the top of a building at the same time then the bowling ball would fall faster than the marble because it is heavier and the weight is pulling it down. The marble would fall soon after the bowling ball has reached the bottom.

The bowling ball will fall faster than the marble and the bowling ball will break through the tent and leave a crack on the floor. The marble will just hit the floor and it will bounce around.

I think they will drop the same time because while in air the gravitational pull is the same so the weight won't matter.

i think that if you drop those things at the same time the bowling ball will fall first because between mich hevier the thing is ,it would have more speed

I think the bowling ball and the marble will reach the ground at the same time because the force is the same since Mr. Arnold is dropping them from the same height.

I would observe a bowling ball from the roof because bowling ball is much more heavier than a marble. Heavier objects always drops faster than lighter objects.

If Mr. Arnold dropped a bowling ball, and a marble at the same time at the top of a building, the bowling ball would probably drop first because it is heavier than the marble. The marble would drop soon after the bowling ball.

The bowling ball will dropped first this is because the bowling ball is much heavier.

If Mr Arnold dropped a marble and a bowling ball from the roof of the school, i think the bowling ball will drop first since it is heavier than the marble, and heavier things drop faster. I'm guessing it's similar to comparing a bowling ball and a feather drop? Since a feather is bound to drop slower since it's so much lighter.

Depends on the hight. If it is high enough for the speeds to catch up with each other, yes.

If you dropped a marble and a bowling ball the ball with the more weight will go faster and the ball with the more weight is the bowling ball. And the marble would bounce of but the bowling ball would break the ground because of its weight.

I think that they would both drop at the same time. I remember that in third grade my teacher picked up a water bottle and a pencil. He asked which would drop first and all of us answered the water bottle. We were all amazed when they hit the floor at the same time. Its all to do with gravity.

I think that the bowling bowl will hit the ground first because it is much heavier then the marble and the air cant carry something that weights a lot ..

The bowling ball would fall faster because the bigger it is the more kinetic energy it has. The more kinetic energy the faster it goes.

If you were to see Mr Arnold drop a bowling ball and a marble at the same time, then the bowling ball would be falling faster because it's heavier. The marble would hit the bottom of the school after the bowling ball.

Well if you drop a bowling ball and a marble at the same time on the roof top, the marble will go down and the bowling ball either but the bowling will go faster because the gravity is pulling it down and why the bowling will go faster because the mass of the bowling ball was bigger and the marble is less.

I think they would both fall and hit the ground at the same speed because, quoting scientist Galileo Galilei, "the time that objects hit the ground is constant". In a vacuum, they would both hit the ground at the same time. But, because bowling ball is heavier, there is less air resistance as to the marble. So the bowling ball will hit the ground first.
