Solution
All the coins hit the ground at the same time and at the same distance from your feet.
This is because, according to the laws of physics, specifically the law of universal gravitation and Newton's second law of motion, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is assuming that the effects of air resistance are negligible. The initial velocity and angle of projection would also determine how far the coins travel, but since they are the same for all coins in this scenario, they all land at the same distance from your feet.

You drop a coin from the CN tower. Air resistance is not negligible. Describe the motion of the coin. It accelerates at -g until the coin reaches terminal speed, and then has constant speed. It accelerates at -g until it hits the ground. It falls at constant speed until it hits the ground. Its acceleration is initially -g, but its magnitude gradually decreases to zero as the coin falls.
why does the first coin reach the floor first instead of landing both at the same time
You've learned to juggle 4 balls at once here on Earth. During a visit to the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is about 1/6th its Earth value, you decide to try juggling those same 4 balls. You find that, on the moon, each ball has ________________.1 pointless weight and falls more slowly than on Earth. It undergoes the same acceleration as on Earth when exposed to the same force as on Earth.less weight and falls more slowly than on Earth. It accelerates more rapidly than on Earth when exposed to the same force as on Earth.the same weight, but falls more slowly than on Earth. It accelerates more slowly than on Earth when exposed to the same force as on Earth.the same weight and falls at the same rate as on Earth. It accelerates more slowly than on Earth when exposed to the same force as on Earth.
