If you let them fall in a vacuum they will both fall at the same time. However in normal air the 3kg would hit the ground first, because it has more Heavyness Energie, calculated my the formula M*G, which is the wieght * the fall accelaration on earth, so that's be 3 * 9.8 or 1*9.8. Therefor I believe the 3kg would fall first.

Well in a vacuum space they would both fall just as fast ;)
It's the resistance our atmosphere puts up that affacts the speed it falls down. Without our atmosphere a plane would fall as fast as a feather :P

you're genius Duelist. yea, you were ryt, somebody had tested this thing himself (Galileo? maybe. i forgot.), ryt at the leaning tower of pisa. And was also proven on moon (hammer and a feather), where there was no air, thus friction force was neglected.

Hey you never said anything about letting go of them at the same time.
That means it's up to you which one lands first, since if you let go of the 1kg first that one will fall to the ground first if you wait a bit before you let go of the 3kg. :P

Well I experiment this thing..............
And the result was this: I let two objects (a camera and a PS2 controler obviously I let them fall in my bed) to fall at the same height and they reach the bed at the same time..........
and then I tested in ground (with a pencil and a notebook) and it was the same............

Try with a marble and a bowling ball, and go onto your house roof, and install a slo-mo camera, then you might get a tiny bit of difference. The formula is more complex than DX's ...
