Listen everyone! If there is no air, then gravity is the only force acting on the objects. Therefore all objects would accelerate at the same speed (9.8 meters/second/second) and would hit the ground at the same time. However, on Earth, air resistance (friction) affects all objects in a direction opposite its motion, so if some objects are more affected by friction, then they would fall slower. A beach ball and a bowling ball would not hit the ground at the same time for this reason. If you would like to see a bowling ball and beach ball hit the ground at the same time, go to the moon!
I hope this helps.
