When we throw a feather and a stone from same height and with same force, the stone touches the ground first and the feather second because the weight of the stone is more than the upthrust of the air so it goes down faster but as the weight of the feather is less than the upthrust of the air, it goes down much slower. And it is so light that even the slightest wind can blow it away.
ompandey342004:
so if the weight of upthrust of air is greater than the weight of feather so why the feather is coming down why it is not staying inthe air
It is because of gravity.
Although the upthrust of air is greater than the weight of the feather it will come down because an external force is being applied on it which is the force of gravity.
thank you
You're surely welcome.
I wish that the answer is helpful to you.

This is because of friction in air.The feather has more surface area than the stone.So,air opposes the motion of the feather more than the motion of the stone
