Yes, both the paper and coin will hit the ground at the same time when thrown from the same height in the absence of air resistance, as they are both subject to the force of gravity. This is known as the principle of equivalence in free-fall.

Why does a coin fall faster than paper?

A coin falls faster than paper due to differences in density and aerodynamics. Coins are denser and have less surface area compared to paper, allowing them to overcome air resistance more easily and accelerate faster towards the ground.


When a coin is dropped to the ground as the coin falls it loses potential energy and gains what kind of energy?

As a coin falls to the ground, it loses potential energy due to a decrease in height and gains kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. This kinetic energy increases as the coin's speed increases during its fall.


Why a sheet of paper fall slower than a coin under gravity through air?

A sheet of paper falls slower than a coin in air due to differences in air resistance. The paper has a larger surface area compared to the coin, leading to more air resistance acting against its fall. This increased air resistance slows down the paper's fall compared to the coin.


Which fall faster coin or a crumpled paper?

This is a classic question. In a vacuum, both the the coin and the crumpled paper fall at the same rate due to the absence of air resistance.(Their acceleration being the same) However, in air, the relative air resistance on the paper is greater than on the coin.(relative, because the coin and the paper do not have the same mass, so the proportion of air resistance as compared to weight is the one relevant) So the acceleration of the paper decreases to zero more rapidly than the coin.(it will decrease to zero provided the objects are released from a sufficiently high point from the earth's surface). Thus, the coin will fall faster in air.


What force causes the coin to fall to the ground and describe it?

The force that causes the coin to fall to the ground is gravity. Gravity is a natural force that pulls objects towards each other, in this case, the coin towards the Earth. It is responsible for the acceleration of objects in free fall.

How much time will it take for the coin to hit the ground -16 plus 96 plus 112?

The answer depends on its initial velocity and the height from which its fall to the ground is measured.

How do you make a piece of paper and a ten cent coin drop at the same time?

I would wrap the coin in the paper.

If you drop a coin and a leaf from the same height which will ht the ground first?

1) it depends how high up you are 2)which coin (e.g. 1p 2p 10p 20p 50p £1 and so on) 3)it depends which one you drop first as you can see there are many answers to this question but i would say the coin
