उत्तर
- When we drop a feather and a heavy stone at the same time from a height, the feather experiences a buoyant force and a frictional force due to air and therefore floats and reaches the ground slowly.
- But, the buoyant and frictional forces on the stone are much less than the weight of the stone and does not affect the speed of the stone much.
- Hence, when we drop a feather and a stone at the same time from a height, the stone reach the earth faster than a feather.
