They would both float if you had no gravity.

What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather here on earth?
The feather would reach the earth first dumb@$$
What would happen if the rate at which materials naturally move in or out of the atmosphere changed?
Either more or less materials would be in the atmosphere.
What would happen if there would be no atmosphere?
everything would be dead and lifeless.
What if the moon did not have an atmosphere what would happen to it?
The moon does have an atmosphere but it is very thin, it only has one part unlike earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere of the moon is called the Exosphere. Nothing bad will affect it just more craters will be found.
What will happen if you throw the feather in the air?
Your grammar is atrocious. It will float a bit and fall on a windless day, it will fly off on a windy day.

What would happen if you droped a hammer and a feather on the Moon?
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather on the earth and on the moon? The above experiment is supposed to prove the equivalence principle which states that the acceleration an object feels due to gravity does not depend on its mass, density, composition, colour or shape.Answer:If you drop a hammer and a feather from the same height on earth, the hammer will hit the ground first as the feather is slowed down drastically by air resistance.But on the moon, because it is a vacuum, and since the acceleration of an object is the same as the gravity i.e. a = g and the mass is not in the equation, all objects will have the same acceleration and hence the hammer should fall to the surface of moon at the same time as the feather but:"Both will hit the moon at the same time as believed by most scientists?"This may not be absolutely true since every object has its own gravity which is greater if its mass is greater. So the hammer has a gravity much greater than that of the feather. Therefore the combined gravity of the hammer and that of the moon (which pulls the hammer and moon towards each other) is greater than that of the feather and the moon.As such the hammer should collide with the moon marginally earlier than that between the feather and the moon, though this difference is so minute that we assume that the collisions occur simultaneously.However, if the hammer and feather are dropped together, then as the hammer's gravity pulls the moon towards itself, it also pull the moon towards the feather and as such the lucky feather may get a free ride and hits the moon at the same time as the hammer.To be fair, the experiment should be done dropping the objects individually e.g. feather first, then the hammer and then see whether the times taken are the same or not.All the above are valid only on the assumption that the centre of gravity is the part that hits the moon but since this is not necessarily true, we also have to take into account which part of the hammer or feather is nearest to the moon before the two objects were released (assuming that the centre of gravity of both objects are at the same level on release) !The real answer is that there is not enough data for us to know which will hit the moon first !The famous experiment by Astronaut Dave Scott on the moon is not very precise.Dr HW Looi
What would happen if you dropped a feather on the moon?
If you drop a feather on the moon, it will fall from your hand with an acceleration of 1.62 meters (5.32 feet) per second2, and never a ripple or a flutter. If you drop the feather and a stone at the same time, they hit the ground on the moon at the same time.
When did Angel's Feather happen?
Angel's Feather happened in 2005.
When did Shining Force Feather happen?
Shining Force Feather happened in 2009.
What would happen if two objects of a similar surface area were dropped from the same height on the moon?
The surface area would not be an issue as there is no atmosphere to restrict their fall.
When did Hammer Heads happen?
Hammer Heads happened in 2006.
When did Age of Hammer Wars happen?
Age of Hammer Wars happened in 2010.
If a baseball and a marble are dropped at the same time which one will hit the ground first?
Aristotle thought that the heavier object drops faster, and a majority of people in 2013 probably still do. The way gravity actually works, however, is that if air resistance can be ignored, then everything from a piece of tissue to a battleship hits the ground at the same time, having accelerated at the same rate and matched their speed at every point during their fall.
