no matter how high you drop the feather, it cannot kill you. because it too light, it can only go so fast but wont go any faster once it reach it terminal velocity.
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 :)
Relative to each other . . . zero speed.Relative to you watching them fall . . . equalspeeds.
If they are dropped from the same height, they will fall at equal velocities because there is no air resistance and their accelerations by gravity are equal.
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.
The penny will land first, because the feather displaces the air. That is also why a boat floats, it displaces enough water underneath it that the displaced water pushes up keeping the boat afloat.

A feather can kill a human only if it gets stuck in the trachea (wind pipe).

both reaches the ground at the same time because in the moon there occurs free fall.
Falling objects behave in such a way that heavier objects will fall faster than the lighter ones. Try to drop a stone and a feather from the same height and at the same time, the stone will fall to the ground first.

try to find out...:)
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.
air resistance, on the moon they did an experiment where they dropped a hammer and a feather at the same height and time and they hit the ground at the same time
