Question

A $5.00 \mathrm{~kg}$ object is released from rest while fully submerged in a liquid. The liquid displaced by the submerged object has a mass of $3.00 \mathrm{~kg}$. How far and in what direction does the object move in $0.200 \mathrm{~s}$, assuming that it moves freely and that the drag force on it from the liquid is negligible?

Step 1

First, we need to find the buoyant force acting on the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. We know that the mass of the liquid displaced is 3.00 kg, so we can find the weight of the liquid using the Show more…

Key Concepts

Archimedes' Principle

Archimedes' principle states that any object fully or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. This principle is fundamental for understanding the net force acting on submerged objects.

Newton's Second Law

Newton's second law relates the net force acting on an object to its mass and the acceleration it experiences. When an object is submerged in a fluid, the net force is determined by the difference between the gravitational force (weight) and the buoyant force, leading to an upward or downward acceleration.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion

Uniformly accelerated motion applies when an object experiences constant acceleration over time. In such cases, the displacement of the object can be calculated using kinematic equations, such as s = (1/2)at², which is essential for determining how far the object travels in a given time interval.
