Answer 2

While doing the procedure 1,the coin fell in the beaker due to the property of the coin called Inertia of rest.

Explanation:  

• Inertia is the property of a matter by virtue of which it stays in the state of rest or uniform motion until and unless acted upon by some external forces.  

• This is in accordance with the Newton's first law of the motion. The coin was initially at rest. So it exhibit Inertia of rest.  

• So when the paper was pulled suddenly, the coin remained in the state of rest and so it fell directly on to the beaker due to gravitational pull of the earth.
