If we neglet air resistance for both objects then both will fall parallely(at same time) because time taken by both objects is independent of mass. there is famous experiment i.e"feather coin experiment" . normally we think that heaver objects falls faster but this is wrong concept. it depends on medium in which objects are moving.

Answer:
a) the acceleration is -9.8 m/s^2 (gravity's acceleration), the magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2 and the direction is downwards.
The pebble is not decelerating since the magnitude of it's speed is increasing, even if it is on a negative direction.
b) after 0.5 s the pebble is 5.725 meters down. (or -5.725m from it's initial position.)
Explanation:
a) the acceleration is given only by gravity, it's the only force acting on the pebble, the slingshot only gives the pebble an initial speed.
b) To calculate the position we use the equation
y0 + v0·t + ½·g·t² = yf
replacing:
0 + (-9.0m/s) * 0.5s + 1/2 (-9.8)*0.5² = yf
-5.725 = yf
