Gravity Experiment in a Vacuum Chamber |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| In this experiment, conducted at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) facility in Sunnyvale, California, a feather and an apple fall at the same rate from an opened box in a vacuum chamber. This demonstrates that all the bodies fall towards the Earth with the same acceleration, independently of differences in mass. | ||||||
