Isn’t it a bowling ball cause it’s the heaviest so it likely to go faster and hit the ground .

If air resistance can be ignored, then they
both hit the ground at the same time.

In the real world, air resistance will have a greater influence
on the bag of potato chips.  It has a large flat area and sharp
edges, whereas the bowling ball is smooth and streamlined.
So the bowling ball will hit the ground first.

This has nothing to do with their WEIGHT.  If you drop a
bowling ball and a properly trimmed small airplane off a
cliff at the same time, the airplane weighs more than the
bowling ball, but the bowling ball will hit the ground first.

Explanation:

Assuming constant density, the pressure at a depth h is:

P = Patm + ρgh

3 (1.013×10⁵ Pa) = 1.013×10⁵ Pa + (1025 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h

h = 20.1 m

deff fn [24]

Explanation:

Kirchhoffs Voltage Rule, or KVL, explains that "the overall voltage throughout the circuit in any closed loop network is equal to the sum of all voltage decreases inside the same loop" which is equivalent to zero. In other words, the mathematical sum of all within the loop voltages must be equal to zero.
