Why does a stone fall faster than a paper?

Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance.

Why do you think the stone and the crumpled paper hit the ground together?

The force of gravity on earth, no matter the object is approximately 9.8 m/ s2 . The reason the crumpled paper hits the ground first is because of air resistance. A crumpled piece of paper has less surface area than an piece of paper that is not crumpled. More surface area means more air resistance.

Which will fall faster the stone or the crumpled paper?

It there is significant air resistance then the paper having large surface area and less density than stone will become slower because of buyont force and stone will reach first ! They will both start to fall at the same time, when you release them.

When a paper and a stone are dropped from the same height at the same time which of the two will fall first Why?

In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

When a stone and pencil are dropped simultaneously?

It remains same for each object. Since stone and pencil are falling in a vacuum, there will be no air resistance on them. Hence, time taken for them to reach the ground will be same.

Why does a stone fall faster than a bunch of feathers even though their masses are the same?

The reason is that upthrust due to air on the stone is less than that on the bunch of feathers because the volume of the stone is less than that of the bunch of feathers with the same mass. More the volume more will be the air drag on the feathers and hence, it will take more time than the stone to strike the ground.

Which of the two reach ground first when a stone and a piece of paper is dropped simultaneously in a vacuum from the top of the building?

Therefore, we can conclude that when dropped from a height, but in vacuum, both the stone and the pencil will reach the ground simultaneously. So, the correct answer is that they will reach the ground at the same time.

Why does a sheet of paper fall more slowly than a book?

As a sheet of paper has more surface area than a crumpled ball, it faces more air resistance. Because it faces more air resistance, its speed decreases.

Does the stone reach the ground first or the paper first?

If air resistance is in the equation, the stone will reach the ground first because the item has less air resistance than the paper, unless the paper is folded to be about the same size as the stone. Now, without air resistance, both will reach the ground at the same time. Watch this:

What happens when you drop paper and stone at the same time?

It there is significant air resistance then the paper having large surface area and less density than stone will become slower because of buyont force and stone will reach first ! They will both start to fall at the same time, when you release them. We drop a 20 kg stone and a 1 kg stone at same time, which stone will touch ground first?

Which will land last – paper or stone?

The paper has a lot more air resistance and lower terminal velocity. It will land last. When 1 kg stone and 20 kg stone are dropped from the same height at the same time in the presence of air, which will reach the ground first (considering both has the same density and similar shape)?

Why does crumpled paper hit the ground first?

The reason the crumpled paper hits the ground first is because of air resistance. A crumpled piece of paper has less surface area than an piece of paper that is not crumpled. More surface area means more air resistance. Think of the crumpled piece of paper as you falling from an airplane without a parachute.
