2nd and third laws of energy
While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.
Hope that helps!
Newton's 2nd law says: Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.
The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.
The upward force the table exerts on the ground!
Equal and opposite forces.
