A body of weight 20 N is immersed in water, apparent loss in weight is 5 N. Buoyant force is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of weight 20 N is immersed in water, apparent loss in weight is 5 N. Buoyant force is

A. 15 N

B. 20 N

C. 5 N

D. 25 N

Answer: Option C

Solution (By JKExamLibrary)

Apparent loss in weight = buoyant force = weight in air - weight in water = 5 N. Archimedes principle. Apparent weight = 20-5 = 15 N.

A car moving with speed 20 m/s applies brakes and stops in 5 s. The distance covered during braking is

A. 200 m

B. 100 m

C. 50 m

D. 25 m

View Answer & Solution Discuss

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
u=20, v=0, t=5, a = (0-20)/5 = -4 m/s². s = ut + ½at² = 20×5 + ½×(-4)×25 = 100 - 50 = 50 m. Or average velocity = (20+0)/2 = 10 m/s, distance = 10×5 = 50 m.
