The standard size of paper used for computer printouts and other uses is A4.

A4 paper is 210 × 297 mm. It has an area of 1/16 metres².

It is one of a series of paper sizes starting with A0, which has an area of 1 square metre.

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 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.


Does the area of a piece of paper change if you change the height and radius?

Yes.


Why does a crumpled piece of paper fall faster than a flat piece of paper?

A crumpled piece of paper falls faster than a flat piece due to air resistance. The crumpled paper has a smaller surface area exposed to air compared to the flat paper, reducing the force of air resistance acting on it. This allows the crumpled paper to accelerate faster towards the ground.


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.


How many cubic inches are in a piece of paper that is 8inches by 8inches?

8 inches x 8 inches = 64 square inches = the area of the piece of paper. Length and width are used to find the area of an object, not the volume (cubic inches). To find the volume of the piece of paper you need to know the depth of the sheet of paper. You might be able to find this out with a Google search.


What instrument measures grammage of a piece of paper?

A paper scale or grammage scale is used to measure the grammage (weight) of a piece of paper. It typically measures the mass of paper in grams per square meter (g/m²) by weighing a standardized area of the paper.


Why does decreasing the surface area of a piece of paper decrease its air resistance when it is dropped in the air?

Decreasing the surface area of a piece of paper reduces the drag force acting on it as it falls through the air. This is because there is less area for air molecules to interact with the paper, resulting in lower air resistance. As a result, the paper falls faster with less air resistance when its surface area is decreased.


What is the area of an A4 piece of paper?

A sheet of A4 paper has an area of 1/16 square metres. Its dimensions are approximately 297 mm x 210 mm.


Why does a crumpled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?

This is because the flat piece of paper has a greater surface area, thus creating more friction between the air and itself, (this is also known as air resistance). The crumpled ball however, has a smaller surface area, creating less air resistance. The shape is different, meaning that the amount of force it gets is also different.


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.
