A student starts an experiment with a stack of three identical sheets of paper He crumples the stack against his fist as shown in the figure then separates a single sheet from the other two without altering their crumpled pseudo conical shape This yields two objects of the same shape but of different masses He releases these objects simultaneously and records their motion in still air After the two objects acquire their terminal velocities the heavier one moves n 2 times farther than the lighter one in a particular time interval If the force of air resistance is proportional to u where u is velocity and x is a constant exponent what should be value of the exponent x Two sheets One sheet
