They will both hit at the same time

Answer 1

In the presence of air resistance, a baseball will typically hit the ground before a feather. The feather is lighter and has a larger surface area relative to its mass, which causes it to be significantly affected by air resistance. As a result, it falls more slowly than the baseball. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**The baseball**.
