Wrong 
you can drop a marble and a bowling ball at the same height at the same time, and both would hit the floor at exactly the same time. or milliseconds out due to the insignificant effect of the air resistance. That all depends on the height in which you drop it. but anything round will have less air resistance to something that is flat.
The same thing happens if you was to drop something from say a height of 10m and to throw something horizontal at a height of 10m, they both would hit the floor at the same time even though one of them is moving in a direction.
he is correct.
and skoe
