Answer #1

a) According to Aristotle the heavy object will fall fast because of faster speed.

b)According to Galileo, the two object will fall at ground at same time.

c) According to Newton the two object fall at same time as the acceleration of the two object is same as the gravitational pull on each object is same. .

2)

the inertial mass of the feather is less than the other two object. so, the resistance force on feather is more as compared to other two object. therefore feather would experience a lower acceleration.
