If a box full of feathers and a box full of bricks were to be dropped at the same time and from the same height, which one would hit the ground first?

In a vacuum (no air):

-Both boxes fall at the same rate and hit the ground at the same time.

-Gravity accelerates all objects equally at 9.8 m/s², regardless of mass.

In real-world conditions (with air):

-Air resistance affects lighter or less compact objects more.

-A box full of feathers may fall more slowly if it’s larger or less aerodynamic.

-A box full of bricks is denser and experiences less drag → more likely to hit the ground first.

If both boxes are the same shape and size:

-Air resistance affects them similarly.

-They will fall at nearly the same rate and land around the same time.
