General relativity theory from Newton and further enhanced by Einstein must have defined parameters correct? I would like to know what those parameters are because that bowling ball will impact the ground quicker than a feather and given the definition of mass it looks like to me the feather has mass. Yikes!

Question

For what I understand. The bowling ball will impact the ground quicker because the force of weight pulling down on the bowling ball is greater. (force of weight=mass x gravitational acceleration) The feather does indeed have mass but the mass is smaller than that of the bowling ball.

To bad he didn't think to drop the hammer and the feather at the same time on earth where the force of gravity is approximately six times that of the moon.

Theoretically, if you drop a bowling ball vs. a baseball, they will hit at the same time I believe. Almost any two objects will hit the ground at the same time. However, wind and air drag affects different objects differently. If we had nothing to worry about besides gravity, then they should hit the ground simultaneously.
