We talked about how Galileo dropped a cannon ball and a wooden ball from the leaning tower of Pisa to show that all objects experience the same force on Earth due to gravity. Both objects land at the same time, but if you were to drop a ball and a feather then the feather would experience more air resistance than the ball and take longer to fall. If you go somewhere there is no air – a vacuum or on the moon then both objects fall at the same speed. These is proved in the video. Check it out.

ps. this has been a sats question in the past
