They would hit the ground at different speeds and different times.

If two identical objects (mass and shape) are dropped from DIFFERENT heights, the one closer to the ground will hit first. If two objects different in mass but the same shape (so you can ignore air resistance) are dropped from the SAME height, they will hit the ground at the same time.
Galileo figured this out in about 400 years ago.

the lower one would hit the ground first assuming that the surface for landing is at the same height. HOWEVER, they would not necessarily strike with different force. if the height is low enough that the bottom dropped one never reaches terminal velocity then yes, the one dropped from higher would impact with more force. if the height was such that both reached terminal velocity before impact they would both strike with the SAME force.

Hi. Assuming they were to hit at the SAME height, the higher one will hit last and harder.

the internet downward stress will be more beneficial on the more beneficial massive merchandise because, at any given %, the air drag will be a similar and the gravitational stress will be more beneficial. a = Fnet/m = (m*g - Fd)/m = g - Fd/m

is this a trick question...i think the lower one would hit the ground first

You have to take density into account also.
