Explain atmospheric pressure and how pressure varies with altitude in the atmosphere.
A ball falls through a liquid at a constant speed. It is acted upon by three forces: an upthrust, a drag force and its weight.
The liquid has a uniform density.
Which statement is correct?
The drag force increases with increasing depth.
The drag force is equal to the sum of the upthrust and weight.
The upthrust is constant with increasing depth.
The weight is greater than the sum of the drag force and the upthrust.
