A sheet of paper falls slower than the crumpled ball.
Sheet of paper fall slower
A sheet of paper has a larger surface area when compared to a crumpled paper ball. A sheet of paper will face a lot of air resistance. Because of its large area, when a sheet of paper is dropped from a height, it undergoes 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. Because of its smaller area, when a ball made from a 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.
