Shape will determine the effect that atmosphere has - that is,
the drag on the objects. The heavier the object is (more mass it
has), the less effect effect the drag will have.
In a vacuum, if the objects are dropped from the same height
(that is, the distance between the planet and the BOTTOM of
the objects is the same), they should hit the planet at the same
time.

Actually, both the objects would hit the ground together. Even if you drop a coin from one hand and drop a brick from the other, from the same height, at one time, they will hit the ground together. This happens due to the gravity's nature. It attracts everything together.

i'm shocked no one has requested the glaring question: the position contained in the international did you get bran tarts that weigh ten and fifteen pounds? those tarts have gotta be higher than your total head! And, why could you waste completely reliable bran tarts with the help of dropping them off a progression? i have were given 20 kilograms of butter in my refrigerator. Now, all we want is a toaster oven sufficiently huge... anybody?

in a vacuum all objects will hit the ground at the same time
in an atmosphere you have to compensate for air resistance.
Any solid ball of matter that is bigger will fall faster (assuming everything else equal)

err this is a physics question, and the answer relies in the masses, but the larger of the two should hit first, baring all other variables

they will hit at the same time this is a trick question the shape and form do's not matter

The smaller one because the bigger it is the harder it will have to drop. That would not be Biology that is Physics
