As such, the acceleration difference during the fall will first decelerate the pills relative to the bottle. Since the deceleration takes roughly the same time as the acceleration, the pills will achieve rest wrt. the bottle roughly when the bottle hits the ground. Of course, if the bottle is allowed to fall deeper than the place where it was thrown, the pills will start to move towards the bottom of the bottle. | |
