- | There is also some air resistance
acting on the piece of chalk. The
‘amount of air resistance acting
on an object depends on many
factors including its shape. There
is less air resistance acting on the
chakk than on the sheet of paper.
As the sheet of paper moves
downwards, air resistance
opposes its motion and
slows it down. There is more
air resistance acting on the
