Answer 1

the ball of paper, because it has less surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

basically, because the ball "weighs" more now, it will hit the ground quicker. so technically gravity is more affective towards it. the piece of paper kind of floats it's way down. gravity isn't pushing on one force more, but because because the ball weighs more, it technically would be said so. hope this helps!
