Scale 3: Falling Fruit and Buoyancy

from Everyday Science · host PSD10 and Little Shop of Physics

So, size matters... except when it doesn't!! A great way to demonstrate this contradiction (or either concept, separately) is to make fruit explode. We like to do this by dropping it from a considerable height. We also can show this with buoyancy -- does it matter how much mass you have of the same material?
