Question

Seems took two papers of same size and mass she crushed one of the paper and dropped both the paper from the same height the crushed paper reached the ground earlier than the un crushed paper the possible reason behind this is

Answer 1

Answer:

The Crushed paper's Surface area reduces, compared to a flat sheet of paper. Hence, less surface area to be acted upon by air resistance.

Hence it falls down and reaches the ground first.

The normal paper (not crushed) will encounter more air resistance, like a parachute. It will trap more air molecules, falling down slowly.
