Why does a piece of paper fall more slowly when it's flat than when it's rolled up?
Because there is more space for air to cushion its falling.
How does surface area effect the time taken for a piece of paper to fall to the ground?
Air resistance is the key. In a vacuum a piece of paper and a brick, dropped at the same time, will reach the ground at the same time. When atmosphere is added to the mix the papers area figures in when and where the paper will land. The bigger it is the more air it will capture and its' decent will be slowed.
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.
Is it true or false when a crumpled piece of paper falls to the ground more quickly than a flat piece of paper becauseof gravity?
False, the gravity on the sheet of paper is the same regardless of its shape. However the crumpled sheet has less air resistance than the flat sheet allowing it to fall faster.
What was galleleo famous for?
Galleleo was famous for discovering that everything that you drop at the same distance will travel at the same speed, unless the air resistance is different for example dropping a rock and a flat piece of paper, the rock will hit the ground first, but if you drop a rock and and a crincked piece of paper they will fall at the same distance

Because there is more space for air to cushion its falling.
Why does a paper clip fall slowly?
Because of its mass.
How can you make a pencil fall slowly?
you tie it to a piece of string

What will happen if you drop a piece of paper a feather and a balloon?
they will all fall
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
A feather will fall to the ground more slowly than a brick because of what?
The resistance of the air.
Why do tiny paper copters fall slowly?
Becuase this tiny paper copter has a very low terminal velocity. The force of gravity on the paper copter is very small, so it does not have to fall that fast to reach an equal amount of air resistance. The force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance on the copter while falling very slowly, so it cannot accelerate any more, making it fall slowly.

How do you get worms on bouffant bay in poptropica?
worms? you don't get worms. you get a treasure map piece though. go straight to three hanging fern baskets and hit the third one, then the first one, and then the second one, and the treasure map piece will slowly fall to the ground.
