Question

A pebble is dropped into a cup of water and sinks to the bottom ofthe cup. A solid metal bead of exactly the same size is dropped into the same cup and sinks to the bottom of the cup. How do the pebble and the metal bead compare?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both the pebble and metal bead of the same mass will be equally accelerated  if they are at the same place, in this case, they are in the same place meaning they will be accelerated at the same speed towards the earth. Thus even if they are in the water they will sink at the same speed and finally will reach the bottom of the cup.
