What do you think would fall quicker?!
Question: i you threw a pound of feather and a pound of metal out of a plane both inside a bag which one would reach earth quicker and why?
i know the answer its been proven now tell me if you can brake it. the best answer ill make sure to choose u.

Both would reach the earth at the same time.
As I read it, you state both inside a bag not each in a bag.
both as they both wiegh a pound!
same weight same speed
A pound is a pound. they hit at the same time?
they fall and hit at the same time cause they both are 1 pound..
The bag of feathers would be a lot bigger and incur more drag, so the metal would land first, but not by much.
If they are the same weight and have the same aerodynamics, they are just like 2 equal bowling balls, so they would fall at the same rate and land at the same time, the larger size of the feathers should not matter. That is the theory, but in practice i imagine there are a number of things that could go wrong.
Obviously, if you are saying the feathers and metal are put in the same bag, they would definatley fall together.
I think the the bag with a pound of metal because the bag with a pound of wings maybe will spread its eings and learn how to fly...lol... It's both.,. equally in weight and it is in the bag anyways...
generally apeaking they would both hit the ground at the same time according to newton's law but lets be honest you'd never get a pound of metal past the metal detectors in the airport so i'd have to say a pound of feathers in reality seening as though the pound of metal never made it on to the plane :)
When falling from a plane in the earths atmosphere, their acceleration and speed would be effected by one thing: air resistance (drag). Drag is directly proportional to the profile (i.e. cross-section) of the object in the airflow.
Based on the info you gave you don't address whether or not the bag is made rigid somehow in order to retain a consistent profile for either object.
Are you possible confusing this with how they would fall within a vacuum? In a vacuum with no air they would fall the same.
