Now we have an object with more weight (full sheet) and a more dense and compact object (half sheet). Will they both fall at the same time? No, because the full sheet of paper will be slowed down by the external force, which is ... the air resistance. The crumpled of piece of paper has a more compact mass, meaning that it has less air resistance than the full sheet of piece of paper. This all goes back to Newton's Law, Newton's second law states that the force of an obje...
