Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

es” his point by dropping two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other not. Sure enough, the crumpled piece falls faster. Has Alec proven his point? Use at least 2 to 3 complete content related sentences to explain.

No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.

Which of these are broken down during chemical, but not physical, changes?
Doss [256]

I think your answer is D

because you already said its not a B is a liquid and  not a solid so its harder to have a chemical change C is solutions and D is compound and I know for a fact that a compound is a solid and if C is also a solid then that could also be a possible answer choice.

Why does a heavier object fall faster
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Explanation:

In a vacuum (no air resistance), it doesn't.  All falling objects, regardless of mass, accelerate at the same rate.

However, when air resistance is taken into account, heavier objects indeed fall faster than lighter objects, provided they have the same shape and size.  For example, a lead ball falls faster than a styrofoam ball.

To understand why, first look at what factors affect air resistance:

D = ½ρv²CA

where ρ is air density,

v is velocity,

C is drag coefficient,

and A is cross sectional area.

As falling objects accelerate, they eventually reach a maximum velocity where air resistance equals weight.  This is called terminal velocity.

D = W

½ρv²CA = mg

v = √(2mg/(ρCA))

If we increase m while holding everything else constant, v increases.  So two objects with the same size and shape but different masses will have different terminal velocities, with the heavier object falling faster.
