Reply	petethebloke says: Light and heavy objects fall at the same speed in a vacuum. If you attached a golfball to a feather with a piece of thread and dropped it, the ball would hit the ground first. Do it in a vacuum and (assuming the feather is hanging below the ball to begin with) the feather will reach the ground first. Have a look on YouTube and you'll find videos.  (no votes) Tags: light, fall, heavy.

Reply	bexy913 says: a=F/m , or acceleration=force/mass. Objects such as a rock and a feather have different masses in an area with a gravitational field, such as on Earth. This means they will fall at different rates, unless in a vacuum.  (no votes) Tags: light, vacuum, fall, heavy.
