A falling rock in vacuum accelerates at 9.8 meters per second2 ... the acceleration of gravity at the earth's surface.
A falling rock in air has a smaller acceleration than in vacuum, because of air resistance;
the exact figure depends on the rock's weight and shape.
A falling rock in water has an even smaller acceleration than it air, because of water resistance; the exact figure again depends on the rock's weight and shape.

How fast will a 2-kg ball fall from 2 meters high?
It will fall just as fast as an object of any other mass - assuming that air resistance is negligible. That is to say, if an object has a lot of surface area, it will fall slower due to air resistance.

How do rocks get worn away by the sea?
It gets worn away by the sea because it is simply eroded which mean when water is moving fast the waves crash against the rock and bits fall off into the sea. when this happens the waves carry the pieces of rock away and they end up on a beach as sand or at the bottom of the ocean.

What happens if an extrusive igneous rock goes in the ocean and wind acts on it?
The extrusive igneous rock will float because that extrusive rock got cooled down fast then a regular extrusive. When the wind acted on it, it get cool down fast and the gases from the volcano gets trap in the rock and the weight of that rock is light. Also water and gases have different density so the gases in the rock will be pushed upward and the rock will float because of the weight and the gases in the rock. (P.s only a prediction)
