Solution

The bowling ball and the stuffed bear would have the same acceleration if there was no air resistance. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is a constant (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth) and does not depend on the mass or weight of the object. However, air resistance can significantly affect the acceleration of an object, especially if it is light and/or not very aerodynamic, like a stuffed bear. Therefore, in a vacuum (where there is no air resistance), the bowling ball and the stuffed bear would fall at the same rate.
