A piece of paper and a coin both having ...

A piece of paper and a coin both having the same mass are dropped from the `10^(th)` floor of building. The piece of paper would take more time to reach the ground because

A

weight of the ball is more than the weight of the paper.

B

acceleration due to gravity is more on the ball compare to that on the paper.

C

air resistance is more on the paper and is not negligible as compared to its weight.

D

Both (b) and (c)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
