When something falls to the ground at the same time, like suppose a heavy book, and another book exactly like it. They will both hit the ground first. But, if you drop a piece of paper and a heavy book, the book will hit the ground first. Even though the gravitational pull is the same, there is an opposing force pushing against it. That is called air resistance. There are particles in the air that are like obstacles, that are pushing against the piece of paper, just like friction.
i really cannot go deeper in this subject, sorry for this inconveniency

What is an example of mass resistance?
An example of mass and resistance is voltage, we know that the following is the formula for calculating voltage: V = IR where R is the resistance and I is the current.
What do you call movement of the air?
It is called wind.
Why is it difficult to ride a bicycle against the direction of wind?
AnswerWhen there is wind, there is a greater force from air resistance on you and your bike.
What instrument measures wind force?
The instrument to measure wind resistance is called an anemometer or wind-meter. It is a common instrument used in weather stations.
Meaning of definition of volume and mass?
Volume is the size of a solid and mass is the quantitative measure of inertia, or the resistance of a body to a change in motion.
What is wind restance?
Wind resistance is a specific example of air resistance. Wind resistance would be a resistance to motion cause by a wind, for example when you try walking forward on a very windy day it is hard, that force preventing you from walking is wind resistance.
What factors affect how an object falls?
wind resistance, and gravity, mass does not in any way contribute to how an object falls.
Where does wind resistance occur?
Wind resistance may occur anywhere where there is something i the way of the wind. Whether it may be a person, a car, or a mountain, they all resist the wind.
How does wearing spandex help wind resistance while running?
less wind resistance for your hairy legs. Shave and you will have the same affect.
What is an example of mass resistance?
An example of mass and resistance is voltage, we know that the following is the formula for calculating voltage: V = IR where R is the resistance and I is the current.
What is the wind resistance of this jacketHow much will it protect me from the wind?
All jackets will protect you equally, for the most part, from the wind.
What is mass physical science?
Mass is the resistance of matter to acceleration.
What is a wind mass?
hello peps! wind mass is some sort of a wind that spins around!! this is also something to do with history as well
What gives wind mass?
Hello! Air molecules that float in our sky give wind its mass.
What do you call movement of the air?
It is called wind.
Why you get less mileage in Higher speed?
Wind resistance.
What is areodynamics?
it is the amount of wind resistance that something creates.
