Statement I: In an orbiting space station an olive floats inside an opened jar instead of settling at its bottom. Statement II: The olive can be extracted by jerking the jar away quickly, spinning the jar, or blowing air into it.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Jerking the jar leaves the olive behind by inertia, and spinning or air flow can drive it out.

Both statements are true.
