How could a piece of paper and book hit the ground at the same time?
-- If they're dropped in a place where there is air, then that could be accomplished byeither dropping the paper some time before the book, or from a height much lower thanthe height from which the book is dropped.-- If they're dropped in a place where there is noair, then all you have to do is dropthem at the same time from the same height. Without air, they fall together, and reachthe bottom at the same time.
When dropped from the same height why does a flat sheet of paper fall slowly than the same sheet when it is tightly crumpled into a ball?
Because when the sheet of paper is flat, it acts like a parachute, and collects much more air resistance. The balled-up piece of paper has much less surface area, so can collect much less air resistance, making it fall faster.
Why does paper falls slowly then stone?
Paper falls more slowly then a stone because paper weighs less then stones.
Why does paper fall slower than a marble when dropped from the same height?
The paper has more surface area and therefore more air resistance than the marble does. If you wad up the sheet of paper in a tight ball, you'll see very little difference in the falling speed.
If a bowling ball and a Nerf ball dropped at the same time and height what would the acceleration be?
it would be 9.8 meter per second. anything that isn't subject to air resistance(like paper) will fall at this rate for this is the acceleration of gravity,
What is lighter rock or paper?
Between rock and paper, paper is lighter. However if dropped from same height they do fall at the same speed.

What is the height of a piece of paper folded in half once?
The height of a piece of paper folded in half once is half of its original height.
Why does a paper clip fall slowly?
Because of its mass.
Who made color paper?
It was a factory who had already made normal paper, but dropped something in it and turned colorful. Since then, they've made colored paper.
