Question
grace is in a science lab where all the air has been removed to create a vacuum. she drops a bowling ball and a feather at the same time. which would fall with greater acceleration? the feather they would accelerate at the same rate. the bowling ball it is difficult to determine without more information.
In a vacuum, there is no air - resistance. According to the law of free - fall motion, all objects near the Earth's surface experience the same acceleration due to gravity ($g\approx9.8m/s^{2}$), regardless of their mass. So a bowling ball and a feather will accelerate at the same rate.
