What else can I help you with?
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.
Why the coin touches the ground first than a feather?
The coin falls faster than a feather due to differences in air resistance. The coin is denser with less air resistance, allowing it to fall quickly. The feather, being less dense and having more air resistance, falls more slowly.
Why do a coin and feather in a vacuum tube fall with the same acceleration?
Because the acceleration gravity on Earth is constant, 9.86 m/sec^2.
Why does a coin fall down faster than a feather?
A coin falls faster than a feather because of a difference in their air resistance. The feather experiences more air resistance due to its larger surface area compared to the coin, causing it to fall slower. The coin's smaller surface area allows it to overcome air resistance more easily and fall at a faster rate.
Why does a coin and a feather fall with different accelerations in the presence of air?
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.

In free falling resistance is more effective in slowing a feather than a coin why?
Resistance is more effective in slowing down a feather compared to a coin in free fall because of the feather's larger surface area and lower density. The increased surface area of the feather allows for greater air resistance to act upon it, slowing it down more effectively than the denser and smaller coin.

Which of newton laws apply when a coin hit the ground faster than a feather?
Newton's First Law (law of inertia) and Second Law (F=ma) apply when the coin hits the ground faster than a feather. The coin's greater mass means it requires more force to overcome inertia and fall faster than the feather. The acceleration of the coin is greater due to the larger force acting on it compared to the feather.
Will an American coin float?
No, no US coin is light enough to float when dropped in water.
You almost get hit by a car and you drop one coin which rolls into the gutter What are the odds that you dropped a quarter?
This sounds like one of those trick questions. The way it is stated can be interpreted as "What are the odds that it was you who dropped the quarter?" in the odds are 1, since it is stated that you dropped a coin. If one interprets this as "What are the odds that the coin you dropped was a quarter?" then it is impossible to say, as we don't know what was in your pocket.
What has more mass a coin or feather?
In the absence of any additional information, a coin typically has more mass than a feather. Coins are typically made of metal, which is denser and has a higher mass compared to the lightweight structure of a feather. However, it is important to note that the specific mass of each object would depend on their individual composition and size.
Why is a coin better than a note in Australia?
Coins help you in lots of ways instead of notes: 1. Just image you dropped a coin on the floor it would ring 2. If you dropped a note it would fly away 3. And if you had a coin it would be easy to find
Why does a coin and a piece of paper fall differently in vacuum then in air?
In a vacuum, there is no drag, i.e. air resistance, so the coin and the piece of paper will fall the same way in a vacuum, whereas in air, the paper will flutter down while the coin will have minimal impediment due to its drag coefficient being far less than that of paper.
