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.
A crumpled sheet of paper falls faster because of its irregular shape, creating more air resistance compared to a flat sheet. The increased air resistance causes the crumpled sheet to fall faster as it experiences a greater downward force due to 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.
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.
A crumpled piece of paper has irregular air pockets and less surface area, causing it to fall faster due to reduced air resistance compared to a flat sheet of paper. The crumpled paper also experiences irregular air flow, creating more turbulence that helps it descend faster.
A crumpled ball of paper has a smaller surface area compared to a flat sheet, leading to less air resistance and allowing it to fall faster. The crumpled ball also has more weight concentrated in a smaller area, increasing its momentum.

In a vacuum, both a flat sheet of paper and a crumpled paper would accelerate at the same rate due to gravity. However, air resistance may affect the acceleration of a crumpled paper more than a flat sheet due to differences in surface area and shape, causing the crumpled paper to fall slower.
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.
The flat paper has more surface area, allowing it to catch more air and float. The crumpled paper on the other hand, does not, because it doesn't have as much surface area to spread the air out.
A crumpled paper ball has a smaller surface area compared to a flat sheet of paper, which increases air resistance and slows down its fall. The crumpled ball also has more internal air resistance, which further hinders its fall speed.
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.
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.
A crumpled paper has a larger surface area and more air resistance compared to a flat sheet, which results in it falling more slowly. Air resistance acts against gravity, slowing down the descent of the paper.
