Air Bathtub
How come magnets fall faster underwater than in Air??
I tested in a pool how magnets behave underwater, but it seems they move fall quicker underwater than in air, so i tried again, same result, i tried in a bathtub with and without water... again, same result... I'd like to know why this happens...

edit: ok, it was visual, but it was still quite a significant change of speed, i dropped it from the surface of the water and it took less time to fall from the surface to the bottom with water than without...
ok look, i was underwater with the magnets, i'm not sure if there was a magnetic field underneath or the magnets were made much more sensitive or something, but it is kind of odd that this happened many more times than once...
This would be almost impossible unless the magnet's pull was affecting the data. Were you testing with a metal container? If so then use glass. The resistance offered by water is much higher than the air so it should fall slower. The pull of gravity will also work faster in air than in water. (again teh resistance is less)
