Physics

Free Fall Motion

Quick fact

In a vacuum (or on the Moon), a feather and a hammer fall at exactly the same rate because free fall acceleration is independent of mass.

Why this is interesting

Drop a feather and a hammer at the same time—which hits the ground first? On Earth, the hammer wins, but on the Moon, they land together. Why does gravity treat them the same in one place but differently on another?
