If neglecting air resistance then all objects fall at the exact same rate (acceleration due to gravity of any object is 9.81 m/s^2). So the two balls started 1 floor apart, when the one dropped from the 9th floor hits the ground the one dropped from the 10th floor will be 1 floor behind it (or at the 1st floor). Doesn't matter if one object is a pea and the other is a bowling ball - with no air resistance they will fall at the same speed.

on earth products dropped boost up at a cost of 9.8 meters/2d in accordance to 2d (neglecting air resistance). So till the first ball hits the floor it is going to continuously be vacationing swifter than the 2d ball. Say you drop the 2d ball, B, 3 seconds after the first ball, A. So at time, T, ball A's speed = T x 9.8m/s ball B's speed = (T-3) x 9.8m/s So the first ball A is continuously vacationing swifter than ball B (till it hits the floor). hence the area between the balls is continuously increasing. In actual existence, air resistance will reason the first ball to hit a terminal speed. the faster it is going the further air resistance it encounters. So in some unspecified time sooner or later, the stress of air resistance is a similar because the stress of gravity and in no way extra acceleration takes position. once the 2d ball also reaches a similar terminal speed the area between them continues to be a similar.

If you wanted to get super-technical, you could say the gravitational acceleration of the ball at the 10th floor is slightly lower than the gravitational acceleration of the ball on the 9th floor; therefore, the ball on the 9th falls slightly faster.

They will always be 1 floor height apart. Since the acceleration and velocity will be the same.

no distance- both will be on ground after bouncing for some time.
