This article discusses the phenomenon of relative motion when accelerating a container of an object submerged in a fluid. The authors conducted experiments using Styrofoam and rubber balls suspended in water and observed their movement in relation to the acceleration of the container. They found that the Styrofoam ball moved in the direction of acceleration due to horizontal buoyancy, while the rubber ball moved in the opposite direction. The article highlights the importance of considering horizontal buoyancy and encourages further exploration of the concepts of inertia and buoyancy. [Extracted from the article]
