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.

∙ 9y agoA feather and a hammer dropped at the same height and time on Earth would land at different times because of gravity. Gravity is stronger towards heavier objects.

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 :)
Results for quarters and feathers fall at the same speed?
Quarters and feathers would only fall at the same speed in a vacuum. In air, the quarter would fall faster, as it has less air resistance.
Why the coin touches the ground first than a feather?
Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
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.
Do all objects not aided by the air fall to the ground at the same speed?
Yes all objects fall at the same speed but there are objects that are aided by the air that don't fall to the ground at the same speed. For example, a feather and a brick. A feather is a object that is aided by air. A brick is a object that wind cannot blow away. If I drop both of them down with the same time down a 100 feet building, then definitely the brick will totally reach the ground first ............ well and it will get crushed into pieces while the feather might be blown away into a different place and reach the ground last.:) :):):):):):):):):)
Will a stone and a feather fall with the same speed if there were no air?
both will fall at the same time

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.
Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?
Wind resistance. In a vacuum, feathers and bricks fall at same speed.
Does the size of the ball effect how fast it falls?
Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
Does heavier objects fall faster that light ones?
That depends. 10 lbs. of bricks will fall at the same speed as 10 lbs. of feathers. Meanwhile, a cinderblock will fall far faster than a single feather. If two things are the same weight, they will usually fall at the same speed. If two things are different weights, they will fall at different speeds. ^ This only takes effect when wind resistance is NOT added.
A penny and a feather that are dropped from the same height at the same time will?
The penny will land first, because the feather displaces the air. That is also why a boat floats, it displaces enough water underneath it that the displaced water pushes up keeping the boat afloat.
Why don't all falling objects fall at the same speed?
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).
