Air has a big effect on this situation ... so much that we never see the real Physics
in our daily experience.
What we see is:
The heavier object falls faster than the lighter object. The bigger flatter object
that rubs against more air falls slower than the smaller rounder object does.
The real Physics is:
If things could fall through a space with no air in it, then a feather, a pebble, a
Bowling ball, a sheet of paper, and a truck would fall at the same rate and hit
bottom at the same time.
What else can I help you with?
How do a feather and hammer hit the ground at the same time?
In a vacuum, where there is no air resistance, both a feather and a hammer would fall and hit the ground at the same time due to gravity affecting them equally. However, in the presence of air, the feather experiences more air resistance than the hammer, causing it to fall slower.
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.
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.
Describe why pebble and a shoe fall with different accelerations and speeds?
A pebble and a shoe fall at different speeds and accelerations because the shoe is generally heavier than a pebble. The pebble has less mass than the shoe, so it will fall slower, because there is less of a gravitational force on it. The shoe, however, being bigger and having more mass than the pebble, will fall faster and land harder because gravity has a stronger pull on it.
In the absence of air a penny and a feather that are dropped from the same highs at the same time will do what?
In the absence of air resistance, both the penny and feather will fall at the same rate and hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their mass. This is because gravity accelerates all objects at the same rate in a vacuum.
Will a stone and a feather fall with the same speed if there were no air?
both will fall at the same time
Would a feather and a piece of paper fall at the same time?
pretty much the same

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.
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.
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.

According to Newton's laws a rock and a pebble will fall at the same?
No Because of massrate of acceleration, if they have the same outer shape (for friction) then they will reach the ground at the same time regardless of weight

Would a feather fall faster than a stone in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, both the feather and the stone would fall at the same rate due to the absence of air resistance. This is known as the principle of equivalence, where all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Which one would touch the ground first in a vacumn a brick or a feather?
In a vacuum, both a brick and a feather would fall at the same rate and touch the ground at the same time because there is no air resistance to slow them down. This is because in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their masses.
