Because the crumbled up bit will have less surface area, and with that less air drag. Less drag allows it to reach a higher speed.
A crumpled piece of paper falls faster than an uncrumpled paper due to its shape. The crumpled paper has more air resistance, meaning it will accelerate faster towards the ground compared to the flat paper. The crumpled paper falls in a more streamlined and compact manner, reducing air resistance and allowing it to fall faster.
In a vacuum, a feather and a piece of paper would fall at the same rate due to gravity. However, in Earth's atmosphere, the feather would fall more slowly due to air resistance.
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 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 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.
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.
Both the book and the piece of paper will fall to the ground at the same rate due to gravity. The book may reach the ground faster due to its greater mass and air resistance, but they will still fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
When you fold a piece of paper, you decrease its surface area while keeping the mass constant. This results in a higher air resistance force acting on the paper, causing it to fall faster due to the increased gravitational pull.
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 piece of paper falls faster than a feather due to differences in their shape, density, and air resistance. The paper has a larger surface area and less air resistance compared to a feather, which slows down the feather's descent. The feather also experiences more air resistance due to its light weight and fluffy texture.

If all wind was eliminated, they would both fall at the same time because gravity has a constant increasing rate of pull, not matter how heavy the object might be. Though, because paper is lighter than cloth, and is easily toiled by wind, cloth would fall faster than paper, because paper is affected by wind more than cloth is. The answer could either way.
