Why would a feather and an elephant fall at the same time in a vacuum?

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.

Why will a feather and an apple fall at the same rate in a vacuum?
because it does
Why the coin touches the ground first than a feather?
Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
What affect would a vacuum have on falling objects?
All object fall at the same rate in a vacuum. If you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same time in a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time.
Would a feather fall faster than a stone in a vacuum?
No, they would fall at the same speed, as there exists no air-resistance. They would accelerate at the same tempo and hit the ground at the same time.
Can a quarter and a feather fall at the same speed?
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.

Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
Which will fall faster a feather or ping pong ball if dropped in a vacuum?
Both will fall at the same time in vacuum because there is no resistance.

No, they would fall at the same speed, as there exists no air-resistance. They would accelerate at the same tempo and hit the ground at the same time.
What kind of friction slows a fallong object?
Air pressure. For instance, in a complete vacuum, a feather would fall as fast as a lump of lead.
How long would it take a feather to drop ten meters?
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.
Can a quarter and a feather fall at the same speed?
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.
Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Which falls faster a quarter or feather?
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 :)
Which would fall faster in a vacuum a science table or a bar of soap?
In a vacuum they would both fall at the same speed.
Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?
Wind resistance. In a vacuum, feathers and bricks fall at same speed.
