Q. Why will a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumpled into a ball?
Ans. Unfolded sheet has large surface area as compared to the similar sheet crumpled into a ball. Thus, unfolded sheet will experience more friction due to air as compared to the one crumpled into a ball, no matter same force of gravity acts upon them. It is the larger friction of air which slows down the unfolded sheet, and, hence, it falls slowly as compared to sheet crumpled into a ball.
