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.

∙ 8y agoWhile in a vacuum they will fall at the same rate, in air their is much more air resistance for the flat piece since there is much more exposed area so it will not fall as fast

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.
Why does a paper fall differently on the moon than on earth?
because of gravity. the paper will not actually fall onto the moon but rise up. earth has 10.0n of gravity and the moon has much less, so it wont fall but rise.
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were moving sideways faster than orbital speed?
It would fall to Earth's surface.
When dropped from the same height why does a flat sheet of paper fall more slowly than the same sheet when it is tightly crumpled into a ball?
A Crumpled sheet of paper falls faster than flat sheet because a flat sheet has a relatively greater exposed surface area and hence experiences more resistance from air or the medium in which it travels. Although an upward buoyant force acts on the flat sheet but it is negligible in magnitude and hence can be considered to be zero until and unless the calculations require a very high degree of accuracy such as experimenting with fundamentals of pure sciences.

Is griffin faster than Apollos chariot?
No Apollos chariot is faster
Why does crumpled paper fall faster than straight paper?
Aerodynamics
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
Is cloth heavier than paper?
Cloth can be heavier then paper. It depends on how thick the cloth is and how thick the paper is.
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 break down faster than plastic?
yes paper breaks down faster than plastic
Why plastic burns faster than paper?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavy objects?
It doesn't. But what makes a book fall faster (seemingly) than a feather or piece of paper (lets say) is air pressure, and the way it is shaped.
Why do paper burn faster than plastic?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Will A plane traveling against jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with jet stream?
false because if you think of a paper airplane flying against the wind it will fall faster then the paper airplane flying with the wind
A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream?
false because if you think of a paper airplane flying against the wind it will fall faster then the paper airplane flying with the wind
