Answer:
In a famous demonstration, Galileo supposedly dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall at the same acceleration. However, this rule is true only if there is no air resistance. This demonstration lets you repeat Galileo's experiment in a vacuum.

Answer:
Since the feather is so much lighter than the coin, the air resistance on it very quickly builds up to equal the pull of gravity. After that, the feather gains no more speed, but just drifts slowly downward.
