Drop a paper a piece of thermocol and a piece of plastic from a height of 10 to 15 feet not the time for each object to hit the ground why does paper take more time than thermocol and thermocol more than the plastic piece make the paper to fell down in such a way that it should hit the ground before all of them and how does it happen

The paper takes more time to fall than the piece of thermocol because it experiences a greater air resistance than the thermocol.

The thermocol takes more time than the piece of plastic because it experiences a greater air resistance.

The piece of paper can be made to fall faster than all of them and hit the ground faster by crumpling it and then giving it an initial velocity by throwing it downwards.

Explanation:

Objects falling freely due to the force of gravity alone are accelerated downwards at a constant value 9.8 m/s². This acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects on the earth's surface and is independent of the mass of the objects.Therefore, when objects are release from the same height and allowed to fall freely under gravity, they are accelerated downwards to the same extent and are expected to hit the ground at the same time. However,due to the resistance of the air through which the objects are falling, they may hit the ground at different times depending on the shape of the falling objects.

Objects which have a greater surface area or volume per unit mass will experience a greater air drag or resistance and therefore, will take a longer time than objects of similar mass with a smaller volume or surface area.

The paper has a greater surface area per unit mass than the piece of thermocol, therefore, it takes more time to fall than the piece of thermocol because it experiences a greater air resistance than the thermocol.

The thermocol has a greater surface area per unit mass than the piece of plastic, therefore, it takes more time than the piece of plastic because it experiences a greater air resistance.

The piece of paper can be made to fall faster than all of them and hit the ground faster by crumpling it, thereby reducing its surface area per unit mass it and then giving it an initial velocity by throwing it downwards.
