Why does a coin fall down faster than a feather?
Because the feather has a massive amount of air resistance. The coin is small and dense, so it falls through the air much easier.
Does the Feather and stone falls at the same speed due to earths gravity and zero air resistance and the gravitational force is the same for the feather and the coin?
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.
Is it easier to lift a load with or without a lever And How?
It is easier to lift a load with a lever. You exert a large force over a small distance on the load end by exerting only a small force over a greater distance at the effort end. The following equation, and example, may help you visualize it.load arm X load force = effort arm X effort forceNow imagine that you have a one kilogram rock, and a one gram feather. If you place the the rock 1 cm to the left of the fulcrum, and the feather 1 meter to the right of the fulcrum, the two will be balanced. This is because the feather is 1000 times farther from the fulcrum than the rock. So, even though the rock is 1000 times heavier than the feather, the feather has a mechanical advantage, which balances it out on the fulcrum.
