Buoyancy
pressure pushes cork due to liquid upthrust A cork is pushed down into water kept in a glass. We find that as soon as it is released, the cork rises on its own and comes to the surface. Pressure pushes cork upwards To keep it beneath the surface of water, we have to exert downward force. This means that, when the cork is under wate..
Archimedes' Principle
buoyant force An iron needle sinks in water but a huge ship floats on the surface of water. All objects whether inside the liquid (or fluid) or partially inside, appear to be lighter than in air. This is because liquids (or fluids) exert upward force on the immersed object. This is called the upth..
explain upthrust force in physics
Hot air displaces a balloon, producing upthrust. This upthrust is balanced by the weight of the balloon. The balloon displaces a volume of air equal to its own volume. The air displaced is heavier than the air in the balloon as hot air is lighter than the cold air of same volu..
Submarines
hydrometer A submarine sinks by taking water into its buoyancy tanks. Once submerged, the upthrust is unchanged, but the weight of the submarine increases with the inflow of water and it sinks faster. Compressed air is used to blow water out of the tanks when it has to resurface. (An atomic sub..
Floating and Sinking
Weight of the object is greater than the weight of the liquid displaced. Case 3:- When the weight of the object is less than the buoyant force (upthrust), the object will float on the surface of the liquid. When the object floats, only a part of it is submerged in the liquid and..
Submarine
. For example, fish has an air sac, called a swim bladder in its body. This is filled with air and usually occupies about 5 per cent of its total body volume. Its size is adjusted so that the fish is posed at the depth at which is usually lives and feeds. At that level, the condition of its weight ..

Force
push and pull of force diagrams A force is often defined as a "push" or a "pull". There is nothing untrue with this statement, but does not really tell you much about a force. Instead of defining force, it substitutes an antonym. A physicist prefers to define a force in terms of what it doe..

This Tutor Vista is GREAT! loved this session, it helped me heaps.
Terific helped showed how to apply formulas i will study these examples to go further--much gratitude--will come back again ThankYou
The tutors are amazing. They are very committed in helping students solve the questions and explains all the steps beautifully. So 5 stars for Tutor Vista.
This is very helpful and explains everything thoroughly. when asked to do problems slowly, tutors did them very thoroughly and even went extra mile to explain how and why with text - I just bow down to Turor Vista
