Q
Q: What is the primary cause of buoyancy in fluids?
Solution:
Buoyancy is primarily caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of an object submerged in a fluid.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid.
Step 2: Recognize that fluids include liquids and gases, like water and air.
Step 3: Know that when an object is submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts pressure on the object.
Step 4: Realize that the pressure is greater at the bottom of the object than at the top because pressure increases with depth.
Step 5: Understand that this difference in pressure creates an upward force on the object, which is called buoyant force.
Step 6: Conclude that the primary cause of buoyancy is this pressure difference between the top and bottom of the submerged object.
