A crumpled up paper ball falls faster than a flat sheet of paper because it has a larger surface area. The larger surface area of the crumpled paper ball increases the amount of air resistance, which causes it to fall faster than the flat sheet of paper. Additionally, the crumpled paper ball has a greater mass than the flat sheet of paper, which also contributes to its faster rate of descent.
