Yes, if you drop a feather and a bowling ball from the same height and there is no air resistance, they would reach the ground at the same time. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, due to the uniform acceleration of gravity. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth. Therefore, both the feather and the bowling ball would fall and hit the ground simultaneously in the absence of air resistance.
If you drop a feather and a bowling ball from the same height, would they reach the ground at the same time assuming there is no air resistance?
