Rather trivial science question (regarding flight & drag)
Is there any way to fold or tear a standard 8.5x11 peice of paper so that it takes a greater amount of time to fall to the ground than an unfolded peice of the same paper when it is DROPPED (not thrown) from a given height?
*You may fold or cut or tear the paper in question, but you may NOT REMOVE anything from the paper, NOR may you ADD anything to the paper. **Assume that the papers are being dropped from a height of 10 feet in a sealed room. Please post your technique for creating maximum drag (aka diagram of folding or cutting; or give detailed instructions). Thank you. |

Oh, I'm disappointed. When I saw the thread title, I thought you would be asking about swallows and coconuts...
