Question

You calculate that it would take a piece of paper 0.5 seconds to fall from your hand to the ground if there were no air resistance. in reality, how long will it take the paper to reach the ground?

Answer 1

The paper would reach the ground at about 1 second

Answer 2

Answer:

Around 2 seconds

Explanation:

Depending on how you let the piece of paper fall to the ground is the time that it would take, if you let it fall with the longer side facing down it will make more air resistance and will take longer in this case it would be around 2 seconds, if you let it fall veritacally it would take maybe closer to the .5 seconds.
