Not very weak though Tony. It can and will accelerate objects at 9.81m/s/s until they reach terminal velocity.

 

Without air resistance (in a vacuum) a hammer and a feather will fall at the same rate until the feather has reached its terminal velocity.

The hammer will continue to accelerate at 9.81 meters per second per second

If they are falling in a vacuum under only the force of gravity, what would cause the feather to cease to accelerate i.e. to reach a terminal velocity?

Weak as in if you drop something and pick it up you can counter the entire earth's gravity, so of all the forces gravity is the weakest.

Very true! In a vacuum both object t will fall at the same rate.

What happened there, they took the engine out which made the rear too heavy so it fell back?

 

Yep....Remember some time back i posted a pic of a Lotus falling backwards after a front wheel was removed.
