Explain why an air bubble in water rises from bottom to top and grows in size? |
| Answer» Solution :We know that fluid moves from higher PRESSURE to LOWER pressure and in a fluid, pressure increases with depth, so, pressure at the top (`=P_(0)`) is less than that at the bottom `(=P_(0)+hthog)`. And so, the air bubble moves from bottom to top. It cannot move sideways as the pressure at the same level in a fluid is same. Furthermore in COMING from bottom to top, pressure of air inside the bubble also decreases. Then in ACCORDANCE with Boyle.s law volume of the bubble increases.`(ppro(1)/(V))` | |
