In a Vacuum, a coin and a feather fall equally, side by side. Would it be correct to say that equal forces of gravity act on both the coin and vacuum? Explain

Id say they have equal forces acting on them. Gravity is the only force acting on them its just that there's no air resistance so they fall at the same speed
