Question

Two objects that have the same weight are dropped from a tall building. One object is larger and flatter than the other. Explain why the larger object hits the ground last.

Answer 1

because it is flat it falls down slowly

Answer 2

air resistance is directly dependent on surface area.. more the surface area, more is the air-resistance.. so here, more air resistance acts on flatter object and so it falls a bit slowly and hits ground at last..

Answer 3
