Question
A shoe and a shirt are released from the same height. They take different amounts of time to fall to the ground. How can this be explained?(1 point)
Responses
The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects.

The masses of the two objects are the same, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

Good grief !!! Cut it out bot.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance. The shirt has less air resistance due to its shape and size compared to the shoe, which would slow it down more. This results in the shirt falling slower than the shoe, causing it to take a longer time to reach the ground.
less ? I think more.
You are correct, I apologize for the confusion. The shoe would experience more air resistance due to its size and shape compared to the shirt. This would slow down the shoe more than the shirt, causing the shoe to fall slower and take a longer time to reach the ground compared to the shirt.
You are driving me nuts!
The SHIRT will fall slower. The mass difference does not matter but the shirt has more drag.
