Question

A ball is dropped from the same height, first in air and then in water. In which case would it fall faster and why?
(from Ch friction) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ball would fall fast in air than that in water because of denstiy of water is more than that of air and thus the buoyancy force exerted by air is less than that exerted by water so as the opposing force is much high in water the ball falls faster in air than in water

Hope this helped u :-)

Answer 2

Answer:

in air the ball drop fast as there is no negative force acting

but in water the boyant force produce negative force and allows the ball to float on it
