Ahh ok! but in our experiment, we dropped a coin and a feather from the same height, but obviously the coin fell faster so doesn’t that mean as mass increases the acceleration should as well?


The coin and feather experiment is done in vacuum right? That's what we learnt in GCE. They would fall at the same rate because no air resistance. The mass increases and acceleration increases only works when you drop both at the same force. If it's done without vacuum, isn't your hypothesis correct? The coin has more mass so it fell faster. It can only fall faster than the feather if it had more acceleration than the feather.

we did both experiments, one with the vaccuum and one without. i get the vacuum one and why they drop at the same rate, but i dont get that without vacuum my teacher said 'as mass increases, acceleration decreases' but that doesn't work with the coin-feather scenario?
