Answer:

they land at the same time

Step-by-step explanation:

All objects, regardless of mass, in free fall accelerate at the same rate due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). In a vacuum, air resistance is not a factor on the free fall of the feather. Without air, there is no upward force of air resistance. In a vacuum, the bowling ball and the feather hit the ground at the same instant.
