How Long Does a Brick Take to Sink to the Ocean Bottom? A Physics Model

Confucius watches two children argue about a brick’s sinking time, then uses physics—gravity, buoyancy, drag—and a mathematical model with Python code to estimate how long the brick takes to reach the bottom of various oceans, highlighting differences due to depth and terminal velocity.
