Want this question answered?
A feather and a stone do not fall at the same rate. The feather falls at a slower rate because a feather is subject to the effects of air resistance (it's air resistance to weight ratio is small. A stone has a large air resistance to weight ratio) . The feather may also be subject to blowing winds. Think of 2 pieces of wood. One is 10 lbs and is a sheet, the other is 5 lbs and a block. The weight does not change how fast they fall but the resistance to the air does and so the 10lb sheet of wood takes longer to fall.
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.
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
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
theoritically yes. if they are placed in a vacuum packed room with no air, just empty space, they can fall at the same rate. if they fell in air, the aerodynamics wouldn't equal out, so the quarter would fall faster.
If they were dropped in a container from which the air had been removed.
That depends on the weight and sise of the feather In a vacuum it would fall as fast as a canon ball. In the atmasphere friction through the air would slow it so sise and weight and shape comes into it.
it means that you have been so shocked that if someone tapped you with a feather you would fall down

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

Yes - If they have the same weight. No - if they are different weights... imagine dropping a feather and a stone.
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

pretty much the same
Its not a stick. Its cartalidge. Its to keep the feather stiff and stable so they can fly. Without it, the bird would simply fall out of the nest, and die.
