Hi, i want to now if an object moves faster in a vacuum place or normal place. Give me some details please .

Thank you for your answer.

Given two equal objects moving a constant speed (no external net force), one in a vacuum, and one not, then the object in the vacuum will eventually move faster. This is because viscous losses will reduce the speed of the other object. If this does not answer your question, please be more specific.
