Why does it take longer to bring an object to rest when it falls in water rather than when it falls in sand

But solid particles are packed closely together they just vibrate but cant move. I hope this helped-Because sand presents a greater retarding force.......
The rate at which an object moves downward through water is proportional the density of the object.

The water molecules have intermolecular forces to form the water. Sand does not have any significant, if not any at all, intermolecular forces, only intramolecular forces, and that's why there's not that much energy required to separate them. That's atleast my take. Search more up on it.
Peace.

Don't bother rating me my friend :). I'm just doing my (religious) duty (islamic) towards mankind to try and help them out at times of need.

Because water is in liquid state where the sand is solid. Liquid particles can vibrate and rotate move around each other and they have some space between each other. But solid particles are packed closely together they just vibrate but can't move. I hope this helped
