A friend and I have a running argument on this one and were looking for the truth. I know that Newtons law says that both would hit at the same time but my question deals more with the aerodynamic aspect of this question. Since the turbulent flow caused by the dimples of the golf ball gives it an aerodynamic advantage would it in turn hit the ground first if dropped from a far enough distance. Even if by mili-seconds I would like to know which one would impact first and why.
Re: If a golf and bowling ball were dropped from the sky which would hit first?
