When a student drops a 350-gram rock and a 500-gram rock from the same height of 8 meters into a pool, one accurate statement is:
**Both rocks will hit the surface of the pool at the same time, assuming air resistance is negligible.**
This is based on the principle that, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass when dropped from the same height. Thus, they will reach the surface of the water simultaneously.
