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) a. The weight is greater on the shoe than on the shirt, but there is equal air resistance on the objects. b. The weight is equal on the two objects, but there is more air resistance on the shoe. c. The masses of the two objects are the same, but they are affected differently by air resistance. d. The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

Answer: d.

Explanation: In free fall without air, all objects accelerate the same way. With air present, drag depends on shape and surface area. The shirt experiences much more air resistance than the shoe (larger area, more drag), so it falls slower even though gravity acts the same on both.
