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?
A. The masses of the two objects are the same, but they are affected differently by air resistance.
B. The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects.
C.The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.
D. The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe.
D. The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe.
The shoe likely has a larger surface area than the shirt, leading to more air resistance affecting its fall. This causes it to take longer to fall to the ground compared to the shirt.
