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.

Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
Yes, a golf ball will fall when dropped on the Moon due to the presence of gravity. However, the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is weaker than on Earth, so the ball will fall more slowly.
What would happen if you dropped a stone on the moon?
If you dropped a stone on the moon, it would fall towards the surface due to the moon's gravity. However, since the moon has a weaker gravitational pull than Earth, the stone would fall more slowly than it would on Earth. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon means there is no air resistance to slow down the stone's descent.
What should happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather on the moon?
If you dropped a hammer and a feather on the moon, both would fall at the same rate due to the moon's lack of atmosphere, which eliminates air resistance. This means they would hit the lunar surface simultaneously, demonstrating Galileo's principle of falling bodies. This phenomenon contrasts sharply with what happens on Earth, where the feather would fall much more slowly due to air resistance.
Which parashute comes slowly to the earth?
All of them
Does fade mean to drift?
Fade: means to lessen or slowly go away. Drift: means to slowly or carried away by air or water. Answer- Yes
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.
When dropped from the same height why does a flat sheet of paper fall slowly than the same sheet when it is tightly crumpled into a ball?
Because when the sheet of paper is flat, it acts like a parachute, and collects much more air resistance. The balled-up piece of paper has much less surface area, so can collect much less air resistance, making it fall faster.
Why will a sheet of paper sink slowly than a cruplred paper?
A sheet of paper sinks more slowly than a crumpled paper because the crumpled paper contains more air pockets, providing buoyancy. As a result, the crumpled paper has a lower overall density than the flat sheet of paper, causing it to sink more slowly.
Why are you growing so slowly?
because your balls havent dropped
What sate of matter are the atoms tightly packed together move slowly?
solid
Why would a feather dropped from the same height as an acorn fall to earth more slowly than the acorn?
feathers are believed to be of a lesser weight than that of an acorn neglegting air resistance and the influence of gravity on the falling objects. Consider: if both were dropped inside of a vacuum they would reach the earth at the same time.
A sentence for the word temperature?
The temperature gradually dropped as winter slowly approaches.

Which substance is made of molecules that move slowly and are tightly packed together in a six-sided geometric structure?
idkk
Do chemicals packed together tightly react more slowly?
Yes, chemicals packed together tightly can react more slowly because there are fewer spaces for the reacting molecules to move and collide with each other. This can lead to a decrease in the rate of reaction due to reduced chances of successful collisions.
What does carbonation do when dropped in soda?
It adds carbon dioxide which then slowly leaves the soda producing bubbles.

the anwer is NO. the unemployment rates of the U.S.A dropped slowly.
