Which fall faster coin or a crumpled paper?
This is a classic question. In a vacuum, both the the coin and the crumpled paper fall at the same rate due to the absence of air resistance.(Their acceleration being the same) However, in air, the relative air resistance on the paper is greater than on the coin.(relative, because the coin and the paper do not have the same mass, so the proportion of air resistance as compared to weight is the one relevant) So the acceleration of the paper decreases to zero more rapidly than the coin.(it will decrease to zero provided the objects are released from a sufficiently high point from the earth's surface). Thus, the coin will fall faster in air.
Why does crumpled paper fall faster than straight paper?
Aerodynamics
Why a sheet of paper fall slower than a coin under gravity through air?
A sheet of paper has a larger air resistance than a coin so the paper reaches its terminal velocity earlier than the coin.
Why does a crampled piece of paper fall faster than a uncrampled paper?
It accelerates faster because it has less air resistance.
Why does a crushed paper fall down faster than a plain paper?
i think its because the chrused paper has moer weight

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.
Why does a coin fall down faster than a feather?
Because the feather has a massive amount of air resistance. The coin is small and dense, so it falls through the air much easier.
Why does paper fall faster on the moon?
Faster than on Earth? The reason it falls slowly on Earth is because of air resistance. You can also make it fall quickly on Earth if you make it fall within a vacuum chamber.
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.
Does paper fall faster than cloth?
If all wind was eliminated, they would both fall at the same time because gravity has a constant increasing rate of pull, not matter how heavy the object might be. Though, because paper is lighter than cloth, and is easily toiled by wind, cloth would fall faster than paper, because paper is affected by wind more than cloth is. The answer could either way.
Why plastic burns faster than paper?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Does paper break down faster than plastic?
yes paper breaks down faster than plastic
