Since there is no air redistribute in a vacuum they both will reach the ground at the same time when released from the same height.


Gravity pulls both of them down , but since there is no buoyancy and air resistance, they will reach at the same time.


But if it was not a vacuum the the the two would reach at separate timing(stone first , then pencil).
