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 structure of the feather makes it catch the air and fall more slowly than the coin. Refer to the related link for the Apollo 15 mission to the moon, which has no atmosphere, in which an astronaut drops a hammer and a feather at the same time.
No, because there is no air to slow the down. For deeper analysis, check youtube, hammer and feather experiment on the moon. They hit the ground at the same time on the moon because there is no atmosphere, but if you drop a hammer and a feather on earth the hammer, obviously, hits first.
Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
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.
both will fall at the same time

the object with the greater mass will fall to the ground first. if you think of a hammer and a feather the hammer will obviously fall first. unless your in a vacuum. then the objects fall at an equal rate!
On Earth, a feather falls more slowly than a hammer due to air resistance. The feather is impeded more by the air than the bowling ball is. In a vacuum, such as outer space, there is no air and thus no air resistance. In this environment, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their shape or mass.
No. Both will accelerate at about 1.6 meters per second square.
The only reason falling objects don't fall at the same speed on Earth is the countering force of wind resistance. Without air, all objects would fall at the same rate, regardless of mass (ex. Galileo's ball experiments, as well as the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon).

In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.
Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
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.
There IS gravity in a vacuum first of all. The gravity accelerates both the penny and the feather at the same rate, about 9.81 meters per second. And since there is no air, there are no frictional forces acting on them, which normally make the feather move slower. So they go at the same speed! Hope this helps!
