About Tier 2 - Relation

Requires a few ideas, quantities or steps to be connected.

Difficulty describes the challenge, not the solver. It is a Society guide rather than a formal academic level.

The tier is a Society guide to the amount of reasoning, technical work and insight a problem is expected to require. Your experience may vary depending on the topic and your background.

Two small objects of different masses are released together from rest at the same height above the ground, in a vacuum. There is no air resistance. Which object reaches the ground first?

Assumptions

Treat gravity as uniform. Neglect the objects' mutual attraction and use Newtonian mechanics.
