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.

Why a feather and a small stone take different time to reach the groundEXPLAIN?
The feather is light, so it falls slow. The stone is heavier, so it falls faster.
Why does a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
Why is feather lighter than stone?
it has a smaller mass
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.
Why do a stone fall faster than a paper?
Because the paper has to push more air out of its way while it's falling. If you could drop them in some kind of a tube or tank with no air in it, then the stone, the paper, a bowling ball, a drop of water, and a feather would all fall together.

What will rise and what will sink?
a stone will sink and a feather would rise
Why is a stone heavier than a feather?
A stone has more mass than a feather. And it is not hollow.
Given this the amount of time it would take the stone to fall in air compared to in a vacuum would be what?
longer because the stone has less kinetic energy
How do falling objects behave?
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.
Which force makes a feather fall to the ground more slowly than a stone?
The feather falls slower because it has air restistance. The air pushes up on it. The rock falls faster because it's mass and how it doesn't have air resistance. Also, because toilet seats produce a gas, reacting with the feathers on a feather, making the feather rise.
Why is feather lighter than stone?
it has a smaller mass
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.
Why would a 94 blazer brakes hard as stone?
No power assist Severe vacuum leak Bad brake booster

Will a stone and a feather fall with the same speed if there were no air?
