They won't. Two nearly identical objects (equal-sized cubes for example) will land at the same time as long as they are heavy enough to overcome wind resistance. If you have a ten-pound ball and a twenty-pound ball, they will hit the ground at the same time. However, if you had a ball weighing less than an ounce and one weighing a pound, of course they will not hit the ground at the same time: the ball weighing less than an ounce wouldn't fall - it would be affected enough by wind resistance to slow down. If there was no air, the feather and the rock will hit the ground at the same time.
Factoid.
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to slow down the falling objects. Both the feather and the rock will fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, and thus hit the ground at the same time. This is because gravity affects all objects in the same way regardless of their mass.
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.
The mass is irrelevant, the only factor that effects how fast anything falls on earth is air resistance. The feathers obviously have more air resistance than the rocks and so the rocks will fall faster. If this was done in a vacuum however one gram of feathers would fall at the same rate as a tone of rocks.
A boulder.
Both the feather and the hammer will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height in a vacuum. This is due to the principle of gravity, which accelerates all objects at the same rate regardless of their mass.
They wouldn't land at the same time. the rock will land first and quickly because a rock have bigger mass than a feather. A feather is very light, if you ever tried to drop it from some height you could see that it takes very long time to land and it might go away to another place too.

In a vacuum, where air resistance does not exist, objects of different masses will fall at the same rate due to gravity. This is because all objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration. On the moon, with no atmosphere to create air resistance, both the lead weight and the feather will experience the same gravitational pull and fall at the same rate, leading them to land on the ground simultaneously.

If there was no air resistance and a feather and a penny were dropped from the same height they would both pick up speed by the same amount and they would hit the ground at the same speed and at the same time.
as done in Galileo's experiment when he dropped a large rock and a feather from a tall tower both hit the ground at the same moment when dropped from the same height.

No, a feather and a nail would not reach the ground at the same time if dropped at the same height in a vacuum. This is because the feather experiences more air resistance, slowing its fall compared to the nail which falls faster due to its higher mass.
Assuming the was no air resistance, yhey hit the ground at the same time. First you may think the feathers would land last because a feather is lighter and floats when the wind is strong. But there is exactly the same weight so they land exactly at the same time.
both reaches the ground at the same time because in the moon there occurs free fall.
