Drop two coins of different weights on the moon from a tower what happens?

They both slowly go to the ground. Both of them are the same speed.





isn't the formula something like this vf = vi + at





Weight isn't a factor, as we can see.Drop two coins of different weights on the moon from a tower what happens?
They would both fall at exactly the same speed. They would fall at exactly the same speed on Earth if they had the same surface area as the only thing that makes a difference in how quickly objects fall is if there is air drag/resistance. There is no air on the moon so every object falls at exactly the same speed.Drop two coins of different weights on the moon from a tower what happens?
They drop at the same speed.
