Question

two pieces of lined paper are ripped out of a notebook. one piece of paper is crumpled up into a ball. the other piece of notebook paper is left flat. both pieces of paper are then dropped from 3.048 meters (10 feet) at the same time. which of the following is not a factor that will affect how fast the papers fall? air resistance pushing up on the flat paper mass the shape of the two objects time of day the paper is dropped * please choose an answer

Explanation:

The time of day does not affect the physical factors like air - resistance, mass, and shape that determine the speed of a falling object. Air resistance on the flat paper slows it down, mass affects the gravitational force and acceleration (though in a vacuum all objects fall at the same rate), and shape impacts air resistance. But the time of day has no physical connection to the motion of the falling papers.

Answer:

D. time of day the paper is dropped
