My physics teacher (10 grade) showed us yesterday an ¨experiment¨ of free fall in which he threw a key and a piece of paper at the same time and height and obviously the key reached the ground faster... we all thought that it was because of weight, but then he made the paper into a ball and tried again and both reached at the same time.... AMAZING!

@norlandanielbustillo wow what was the reason for that then?

@kandibee air resistance affects more on greater surface..., if both have same(or almost the same) surface, they will reach at the same time... ;)
