Two metal balls are dropped from a third-story window at the same time. They are the same size, but one weighs twice as much as the other. The time to reach the ground will be?

That sounds like a job for mythbusters. However I'll give you what I have. The two balls will hit at exactly the same time provided they are of the same material and the leading edge of each ball is lot lower than the other when let go. I think that's the question... "Time to reach the ground?" I don't know. How about three seconds?

the heavier ball, because acceleration is 9.8metres per second multiplied by weight. so th eheavier the faster it will drop

Different. Galileo did this very experiment. He found the balls hit the ground at almost the same time, but the heavier ball was faster by about 4%. He knew why too, and how to caclulate it.

the same.all that matters is the diameter,which in your question, was the same.
