Will a flat piece of paper dropped from a height of two meters accelerate at the same rate As a piece of paper crumbled into a ball why or why mot?
In a vacuum, yes, look up the video on youtube of dropping a feather and hammer on the moon. However, on earth, that is not the case, due to air resistance. The flat paper has more surface area for the air to push back up on, and therefore slows it down more
How could a piece of paper and book hit the ground at the same time?
-- If they're dropped in a place where there is air, then that could be accomplished byeither dropping the paper some time before the book, or from a height much lower thanthe height from which the book is dropped.-- If they're dropped in a place where there is noair, then all you have to do is dropthem at the same time from the same height. Without air, they fall together, and reachthe bottom at the same time.
When dropped from the same height why does a flat sheet of paper fall slowly than a crumppled sheet of paper?
because it is more lighter than the crumpled one. and its density is much lighter.
Why does paper fall slower than a marble when dropped from the same height?
The paper has more surface area and therefore more air resistance than the marble does. If you wad up the sheet of paper in a tight ball, you'll see very little difference in the falling speed.
Why does a rock and crumbled up paper fall and land at the same time?
beacause the force of gravity is not stronger on one compared to the other.

What is lighter rock or paper?
Between rock and paper, paper is lighter. However if dropped from same height they do fall at the same speed.
What falls fastest a crumpled paper ball or folded paper?
crumbled
Will the crumbled paper folded paper or unfolded paper fall first?
The crumbled. It's more like a ball, unlike the 2D paper. And since you can't keep the paper completely folded, It might as well be in 2nd place.

Is crumble a physical change?
Yes, crumbling something is a physical change. For example, lets say you crumbled up your paper, theoretically, you could always get your completely flat paper back from the crumbled up mess.

because it is more lighter than the crumpled one. and its density is much lighter.

The paper has more surface area and therefore more air resistance than the marble does. If you wad up the sheet of paper in a tight ball, you'll see very little difference in the falling speed.
What is the height of a piece of paper folded in half once?
The height of a piece of paper folded in half once is half of its original height.
Why would a crumpled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?
Because a flat piece of paper has a larger surface area and therefore more wind resistance. But in a crumbled piece of paper the wind resistance is less.
Why does a rock and crumbled up paper fall and land at the same time?
beacause the force of gravity is not stronger on one compared to the other.
Why does a crumbled piece of paper have less air resistance?
When you crumple a paper you are decreasing the surface area. The less surface area, the less the wind can stop the paper. it also works because you are putting more weight on one area.
