✓

Answer

  1. When we drop a feather and a heavy stone at the same time from a height, the feather experiences a buoyant force and a frictional force due to air and therefore floats and reaches the ground slowly.
  2. But, the buoyant and frictional forces on the stone are much less than the weight of the stone and does not affect the speed of the stone much.
  3. Hence, when we drop a feather and a stone at the same time from a height, the stone reach the earth faster than a feather.
