|
A crumpled piece of paper hits the ground before a flat sheet of paper because
|
|
the acceleration of gravity is greater on the crumpled paper.
|
|
|
there is more air resistance against the flat paper.
|
|
|
the crumpled paper is more massive
|
|
|
the crumpled paper is less massive.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -the acceleration of gravity is greater on the crumpled paper. there is more air resistance against the flat paper. the crumpled paper is less massive.
Detailed explanation-2: -The flat piece falls more slowly because it has a larger area than the crumpled piece. So more air gets trapped under it and slows it up. This is called ‘Air Resistance’.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a sheet of paper is crumbled into a ball, its surface area decreases. Hence, it experiences less air resistance to its motion and it falls faster than the sheet of paper.
