<em>Anything</em> that's dropped through air is somewhat affected by air resistance. But, out of that list, the leaf and the balloon are the items that will be affected by air resistance enough so that you can plainly see it.
If you spend some time thinking about it, you can kind of understand why airplane wings and boat propellers are shaped more like leafs and balloons than like bricks and rocks.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of Nichrome, m = 0.5 g
The resistance of the wire, R = 0.673 ohms
Resistivity of the nichrome wire, 
Density, 
(A) The length of the wire is given by using the definition of resistance as :
Volume,

Area,
....(1)

(b) Equation (1) becomes :

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
72 m/s
Explanation:
D1 = 3 cm, v1 = 2 m/s
D2 = 0.5 cm,
Let the velocity at narrow end be v2.
By use of equation of continuity
A1 v1 = A2 v2
3.14 × 3 × 3 × 2 = 3.14 × 0.5 ×0.5 × v2
v2 = 72 m/s
