So, what would happen if a hammer and a feather are dropped at the same time from the same height? Well, the hammer would hit the ground first, right? But why? Is it because the hammer is heavier or has more mass than the feather? No, that's not the reason. This episode explains that the rate at which things fall to Earth has to do with something called air resistance. Part of the "Crash Course Kids Physical Science" series.
