In a normal environment, why does a bowling ball and feather hit the ground at different times when dropped from the same height?

• They don't; they hit the ground at the same time.
• One is more dense than the other.
• One is heavier than the other.
• Air resistance 

A textbook is dropped from a second floor window and falls to the ground. What happens to the velocity as the book falls to the ground
