Assertion: A wooden piece floats half submerged in a tank of water. If the system accelerates up then the wooden piece will remain half submerged.
Reason: When the system starts accelerating up, then effective will be same for both water and wooden piece.
Reason: When the system starts accelerating up, then effective will be same for both water and wooden piece.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because the effective g is the same for both the water and the wooden piece, so the relative buoyancy remains unchanged.

A ball floats on the surface of water in a container exposed to the atmosphere. Will the ball remain immersed at its former depth or will it sink or will it rise if the container is covered and the air is removed?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
The ball sinks
Option A (The ball sinks) is correct because when the air is removed, the buoyant force due to air is also removed, causing the ball to sink slightly to compensate for the lost buoyant force.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Air flows from the smaller bubble into the larger one and the larger one grows at the expense of the smaller one
Option C (Air flows from the smaller bubble into the larger one and the larger one grows at the expense of the smaller one) is correct because the smaller bubble has higher pressure, causing air to flow into the larger bubble.

Correct option: B
A is true but B is false
Option B is correct. Excess pressure inside a small liquid drop is indeed more than that of a big drop, but the pressure on the upper surface of an airplane wing is less than the bottom surface.

Reason: The rain drops attain terminal velocity in the due course of time, while falling through air.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because raindrops reach a terminal velocity due to air resistance, which limits their acceleration.
