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.

A slow-draining sink can be caused by a buildup of debris, grease, or mineral deposits in the pipes, even if there is no visible blockage. This can restrict the flow of water and cause the sink to drain slowly.

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.

A paper sinks because it has less density. Paper can get wet because it can hold to much.
