Question

When a piece of paper and a coin are dropped from the same height simultaneously. The coin reaches the ground first and paper takes some times in reaching to the ground. It we crumple up the piece of paper in the form of a ball and let the two drop from the same height again they reach the ground almost at the same time. Explain the science behind this activity.

Answer 1

Acceleration due to Gravity is equal to all the objects, even the mass difference is very high.
When piece of paper and a coin are dropped from same height they should reach the ground at same time, and the actually moves downward with same Acceleration but the wind resist the motion of paper as it's surface area and mass is very less. but the wind resistance does not show any impact on the coin as it's mass is more.
when the paper is crumbled and dropped from same height the resistance of wind doesn't show any impact as the surface area of paper is less for the force to act upon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Acceleration due to Gravity is equal to all the objects, even the mass difference is very high.

when the paper is crumbled and dropped from same height the resistance of wind doesn't show any impact as the surface area of paper is less for the force to act upon.
