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 does a crampled piece of paper fall faster than a uncrampled paper?
It accelerates faster because it has less air resistance.
Which falls faster a quarter or feather?
the feather falls faster. The quarter falls faster if the height is very tall. When the hight is about a foot or so the feather falls faster. Try it for yourself :)
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.
What will happen if you drop a piece of paper a feather and a balloon?
they will all fall
Would a feather and a piece of paper fall at the same time?
pretty much the same

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 did the crumble piece of paper fall faster then the flat piece of paper?
Because the crumbled up bit will have less surface area, and with that less air drag. Less drag allows it to reach a higher speed.
Does heavier object fall faster?
No. All objects fall at the same speed (unless they are very wide, like a piece of paper, and then they may be help up by the air).
What falls faster a crumpled ball of paper or a flat sheet of paper?
Assuming that both pieces of paper weigh the same, a crumpled piece falls faster in the presence of an atmosphere. In a vacuum, they would fall at the same speed due to the lack of wind resistence.
Why does crumpled paper fall faster than straight paper?
Aerodynamics
