Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a normal environment with air present, air resistance affects the motion of objects. A feather has a large surface - area to mass ratio and experiences more air resistance, while a bowling ball has less air resistance relative to its mass. This causes them to hit the ground at different times. In a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time.
