Yep, briefly that's the answer. But you want to say what the air does. One word isn't enough. To explain this:

mass

Well, not enough information. I mean, both the feather and rock are in air. So what?

anonymous · Answer

Its easy. Its because of its difference in weight. The brick is alot more heavier than the feather which means the brick will fall faster then the feather.

@410_crew - does that have something to do with the air?

Newton 1st law (inertia), since the brick is heavier, it will have more inertia and have a higher terminal velocity when falling than the feather.
