Assuming that there is no wind or any other unbalanced force acting upon the objects, neither of the two objects would fall faster. Earth's gravity has the same gravitational pull (32 feet per second per second, or 9.8 meters per second per second) on every object, no matter how heavy they are.

In a vacuum, they would fall at the same speed, but on Earth, because we have an atmosphere (air), the surface area (size) of the pound of feathers would be bigger and would be slowed down by friction.

Okay well most likely a big marble will go fast because more weight...

With air resistance, the ping pong ball. Without air resistance (e.g., on the Moon), both fall at the same speed.

Assuming they are released at the same time, they will fall together.

Which will fall faster a feather or ping pong ball if dropped in a vacuum?

Both will fall at the same time in vacuum because there is no resistance.


Which falls faster a quarter or feather?

the feather falls faster. The quarter falls faster if the height is very tall. When the hight is about a foot or so the feather falls faster. Try it for yourself :)


Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?

Wind resistance. In a vacuum, feathers and bricks fall at same speed.


Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?

All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.


A feather falls through the air more slowly than a brick because of?

If you dropped them in a vacuum, they would fall at the same rate. However, when you do it in air, the friction from the air will slow the feather considerably, as the surface area to mass is much greater then that of the brick.


Which is faster to reach ground feather or ball in free fall?

In vacuum they reach ground exactly at the same time. In a medium other than vacuum the ball will reach ground first.


What is the difference and mass between a feather and a brick?

a feather is light weight and a brick is heavy wight i know this because you hold a brick you may fall with it you hold a feather it light very light and you do not fall so the answer is THE BRICKS MASS IS LARGER THAN SHORT MASS OF A FEATHER SO BRICK IS HEAVER AND FEATHER IS LIGHTER. NO other way to prove it right so there your answer by makayla thx please vote good


A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because of?

because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down


Why will a feather and an apple fall at the same rate in a vacuum?

because it does


Why does a feather fall through the air more slowly than a brick?

It is slowed down by air resistance.because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down


Would a feather fall faster than a stone in a vacuum?

No, they would fall at the same speed, as there exists no air-resistance. They would accelerate at the same tempo and hit the ground at the same time.


Why would a feather and an elephant fall at the same time in a vacuum?

Because a feather has more air resistance, it normally falls slower, but in a vacuum, there is not air resistance so they fall at the same rate. Think of it as a feather and an elephant falling in space.
