A sheet of paper will fall slow. it is because it is flat and light. crumbled ball will falk faster because when we crumble it, it will gain weight.
hope this helps:)

sottamaich: But in vacuum, the mass is not responsible for the free fall. There is no air resistance. I think both should fall at the same time.
yoge2390: If you feel like that then without gravity it would never fall it would just free fall until it is destroyed
Sneha00: so am i wrong?
yoge2390: Yeah pretty much
Sneha00: ok
Sneha00: but i think they will fall at the same time
yoge2390: Nope because win vaccum there would be less resistance
Sneha00: oh
Sneha00: ok then report my answer

Technically,because of drag due to air and other particles paper should fall slower but drag is not the only thing it also depends on the gravitational pull. If the gravity in the vaccum is high (e.g. sun) then, due to gravity it would fall faster than it fell in Earth.

Hope it cleared your doubts
