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)

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

The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe.
The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe.

The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects.
The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects.

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

The correct answer is "a sheet of paper because it has a wider area." When it comes to air resistance, objects with a larger surface area experience more air resistance. In this case, a flat sheet of paper has a wider area compared to a paper airplane. The larger surface area of the flat sheet of paper creates more interaction with the air molecules, resulting in greater air resistance.
