1. The motion of a body falling in air is accelerated due to the earth's gravitational force on the body.
2. The force due to buoyancy of air acts on the body in the upward direction.
3. As the body falls, the friction with the air opposes its motion.
4. This opposition due to air depends on the size, shape, density and velocity of the body.
5. It is greater for the a feather than for a stone.
6. Hence, the stone has greater downward acceleration than the feather.
Therefore, the stone reaches the ground earlier than the feather though they are released simultaneously from the same height.
Hope it helps!
