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 paper dve to its flat shape.
