Here's the famous footage of the Apollo 15 astronaut that dropped a hammer & feather on the moon to prove Galileo's theory that in the absence of atmosphere, objects will fall at the same rate regardless of mass.
Task:
Comment on why the 2 objects fall at the same rate even when 1 is seemingly heavier than the other. Does the same phenomenon happen on earth? What's gravity's role in this little experiment?
