A bunch of feathers and a stone of the same mass are released simultaneously in air. Which will fall faster and why? How will your observation be different if they are released simultaneously in vacuum?

उत्तर
When a bunch of feathers and a stone of the same mass are released simultaneously in air, the feathers will fall after the stone falls due to air friction. In vacuum, as there is no air friction, the acceleration due to gravity of both bodies will be the same, and therefore, the feathers and the stone will fall at the same time.
