Why does a flat piece of paper fall slower than a crumbled piece of paper?
A flat piece of paper has a larger surface area, creating friction with the air, or more air resistance. There is more air surrounding the piece of paper, and this slows it down. A crumpled piece of paper has less surface area to create friction, meaning less air resistance. This causes it to fall faster.
Why does a crumpled piece of paper fall faster than a flat piece of paper?
The ball presents less Surface Area to the air than a flat sheet. So, there is less air resistance when a thin piece of paper is crumpled into a ball.
Why does a crampled piece of paper fall faster than a uncrampled paper?
It accelerates faster because it has less air resistance.
If a book and a piece of paper is falling at different rates how can you change the shape of the paper so they will nearly fall at the same rate?
you can crumple up the paper
Is it true that a marble and a piece of paper will fall at the same rate with the same acceleration in a vacuum?
Yes
Would a feather and a piece of paper fall at the same time?
pretty much the same

What will happen if you drop a piece of paper a feather and a balloon?
they will all fall
Why does a bundled up piece of paper when dropped at the same time as an open sheet of paper will fall first over the opened paper?
The opened piece of paper has more air resistance which slows it down. This is basically the same principle as a parachute being opened vs. unopened. Air resistance causes drag.
Why does a crumpled piece of paper fall faster than a flat piece of paper?
The ball presents less Surface Area to the air than a flat sheet. So, there is less air resistance when a thin piece of paper is crumpled into a ball.
Why does a crampled piece of paper fall faster than a uncrampled paper?
It accelerates faster because it has less air resistance.
No air resistance what would fall first a baseball or a piece of paper?
Robert boyle conducted an experiment using a bullet and a feather inside a vacuum container it proved gallileos theory that everything drops at the same speed

How much faster does a crumpled paper fall than a flat sheet show a video?
Because there is less surface area on the crumbled piece of paper, there is less area upon which the force of friction (air resistance) may act. There is more surface area on the normal piece of paper, which allows friction to act over a greater area on the paper. More air resistance causes the flat piece to fall slower.
Why does a coin and a piece of paper fall differently in vacuum then in air?
In a vacuum, there is no drag, i.e. air resistance, so the coin and the piece of paper will fall the same way in a vacuum, whereas in air, the paper will flutter down while the coin will have minimal impediment due to its drag coefficient being far less than that of paper.
Is it true that a marble and a piece of paper will fall at the same rate with the same acceleration in a vacuum?
Yes
Where do you find the treasure piece on bouffant bay skullduggery poptropica?
on bouffant bay, you find the treasure piece by going straight to three hanging fern baskets, and you jump up and hit the third one, then the first, and finally the second, and piece of paper will fall to the ground
