In a vacuum, where there is no air resistance, both a hammer and a balloon will fall at the same rate. This is because, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity. And a balloon will not survive in a vacuum. Balloons are typically filled with gas and rely on the external atmospheric pressure to maintain their shape. In a vacuum, there is no external pressure to balance the internal pressure of the gas inside the balloon. As a result, the gas inside the balloon would expand, causing the balloon to burst.
