Question

On the moon,When dropped from the same height Why does a flat sheet of paper fall more slowly than the same sheet when it is tightly crumpled into a ball?

Answer 1

It all comes down to form. When the paper is smooth, it exposes a large surface to the air beneath it which slows its descent. Once it is crumpled, the surface which comes in contact with the air is much smaller, allowing it to fall much faster.
