Will a Vertical Spring Drop at the Same Time as a Horizontal Spring?

[zanick]

if you drop a spring that is elongated via its only weight (slinky) vs another spring that is on its side... will both hit the ground at the same time?

forgot to add ... both oriented with their center of mass

If the centers of mass start at equal heights and at rest, they keep equal heights during fall. Ignoring air resistance.

there is a good video of this. Thanks for the reply.
