Why can't you hit a feather in midair with a force of 200 N?

Question

Use Newton's Laws.

Answer 1

a feather or an iron ball, both will act in the same way if you could shun the effects due to viscosity and other relevant factors. of course, the accleration would be different and paradoxically, greater in case of a feather (200/mass). but the usually ignored effects are too exposed to neglect in practical in this certain case. so the resultant force becomes quite little and the feather doesnt seem to be hit in literal means. you can feel it, a little wind flow can deroute a feather quite easily.

Answer 2

you can, the point is that the feather won't accelerate very much; the biggest reason for this is that feathers are very much affected by air friction; any force you exert on the feather will cause it to accelerate and move in the air, but the force of air friction will rapidly slow the feather down...so it is possible to exert this (or more) force on a feather, you just wont see the same results as you would with a denser object because of the significant influence of air friction on the feather
