NO I GOT THIS I NEED THE XP LOL

SourMunchkin7806:

I SAID IT FIRST YESSSSSSSS

SourMunchkin7806:

wait is it.... hold on

sadddd:

isnt it d

sadddd:

i think c or d

sadddd:

because a paper would fall slower than a crumbled paper

Shadow:

A is technically true, but it wouldn't best explain things. We already figured out in the previous problem that B is false.

SourMunchkin7806:

i think thats because the crumbled paper would have less resistance so im thinking C is the right one

sadddd:

yea

sadddd:

see shadow waffles kinda smart

Shadow:

Gravitational pull from the force of gravity is dependent on mass. Different objects have different masses. Thus, different objects have different gravitational pulls.
