The velocity-time graph for a body moving down a viscous fluid shows the velocity increasing from zero and then leveling off to a constant terminal velocity.

6. a) The velocity-time graph for a body moving down a viscous fluid shows the velocity increasing from zero and then leveling off to a constant terminal velocity. [ axis lines=middle, xlabel=Time (s), ylabel=Velocity (m/s), xmin=0, xmax=5, ymin=0, ymax=1.2, xtick=, ytick=, axis line style=-latex, xlabel style=at=(axis description cs:1,0),anchor=north west, ylabel style=at=(axis description cs:0,1),anchor=south east ] [blue, thick, domain=0:4, samples=100] 1 - exp(-x); b) The force whose magnitude keeps on changing as the body falls through the liquid is the viscous drag force (or fluid resistance). 7. Observation: The Styrofoam piece will rise out of the test tube. Explanation: When air is blown across the mouth of the test tube, the velocity of the air above the Styrofoam increases. According to Bernoulli's principle, an increase in fluid velocity leads to a decrease in pressure. This creates a pressure difference, with the higher atmospheric pressure inside the test tube pushing the Styrofoam upwards and out. 8. Step 1: Identify the given values and convert units. Elastic constant, k = 4000 Nm^-1 Stretch, x = 0.10 m Mass of stone, m = 25 g = 0.025 kg Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2 (standard assumption) Step 2: Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the band. The elastic potential energy (EPE) is given by the formula: EPE = (1)/(2)kx^2 Substitute the values: EPE = (1)/(2) (4000 Nm^-1) (0.10 m)^2 EPE = (1)/(2) (4000) (0.01) J EPE = 20 J Step 3: Equate the elastic potential energy to the gravitational potential energy at the maximum height. Assuming all the elastic potential energy is converted into gravitational potential energy (GPE) at the maximum height h: EPE = GPE EPE = mgh Substitute the known values: 20 J = (0.025 kg) (9.8 m/s^2) h Step 4: Solve for h. 20 = 0.245 h h = (20)/(0.245) h ≈ 81.63 m The maximum height reached by the stone is 81.63 m. 9. The surface of a liquid is under tension due to cohesive forces between liquid molecules. Molecules in the bulk of the liquid are attracted equally in all directions by surrounding molecules. However, molecules at the surface experience a net inward attractive force from the molecules below them, as there are fewer or no liquid molecules above. This net inward pull causes the surface to contract and behave like a stretched elastic membrane, resulting in surface tension. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
