I've read other posts about this but I don't think this question was covered.
Say you have two objects with different masses in a vacuum sitting on some kind of plank. Next, you remove the plank from both at the same time. The heavier object has a greater inertia, which means that it has a greater tendency to resist change. Does that mean that it will take longer to start falling? By longer I mean something that can't been seen with the naked eye, but a computer can detect the difference in time to start falling.
