Answer:
A sheet of paper has a larger area. Due to its large area, when a sheet of paper is dropped from a height, it experiences more resistance from air, its speed decreases and it falls at a slower rate. On the other hand, a sheet of paper crumpled into a ball has a smaller area. Due to its smaller area, when a ball made from crumpled sheet of paper is dropped from a height, it experiences less resistance from air, its speed increases and it falls at a faster rate.
