Because the flat sheet of paper has greater air resistance
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAir resistance is something that slows down falling objects. A sheet of paper has a lot of air resistance, that is why it falls so slowly.
because it is more lighter than the crumpled one. and its density is much lighter.
it slowly glides down
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.
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.

~CORRECT ANSWER~ its: The sheet of paper, because it has more surface area.
because it is more lighter than the crumpled one. and its density is much lighter.

Although both sheets weigh the same, the wadded sheet has less wind resistance causing it to fall faster
it actually depends on the surface of the thing . it does not depends on the weight. if the paper is flat the book will come down faster but if the same paper crumple the paper will come down faster try it your self

If we are talking in vaccum then both will have same acceleration.But if there is no vaccum then paper crumbled into a ball will have greater acceleration because air resistance will be less for it.
