If someone were to drop an orb from a height of 34,000 meters approximately, and then drop a second orb at 34,100 meters, estima

te how long it would take for the second orb to reach the ground if it takes the first orb 55~ seconds to impact.
Extra Info:
-The first orb weights 2 pounds and the second orb weights only 2.5 pounds.
-The ground is entirely flat and level. (as if you smashed a flattening board into the ground)
-They are both dropped with no force put into it, simply held up and let go of.
-Both Orbs are the same size, just different density.
-The heights are estimates and are not exact, hence the answer can be an estimated one.

(this question sparked from boredom ._.)
If info required I can provide.

Answer:

Explanation:

SO the ball falls 618 meters per second meaning that's how fast 2 pounds fall per second so i have to find out how fast .5 pounds falls which i think its 154 meters per second per .5 pounds meaning the second orb would fall 772 meters per second so the second orb would take 44.1 seconds to hit on impact. Im not sure if this is right but this is my best guess.
