Effect of air resistance

3 comments:

  1. The flat piece of paper fell slower than the crumpled paper due to air resistance.Air resistance depends on the shape of the object falling. Air resistance is a form of friction that slows down any object moving in air.

  2. yeah because when the object has more mass then it's air resistance will be lower

  3. Very nice. I suppose the two pieces of paper have same mass, so the shape decides which has more friction?
