A tanker filled with water up to ⅔ of its height is moving with a uniform speed. On sudden application of brakes, what will be the direction of motion of water in tank? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
Hence the water in the tank would move forward. A water tanker filled up to two-thirds of its height moving with a uniform speed, on sudden application of the brake, the water in the tank would move forward.
Explanation:
A water tanker filled up to 23 of its height is moving with a uniform speed. On sudden application of the brake, the water in the tank would. ... On sudden application of brakes, water in the tank would move forward due to inertia of motion.
Given:
A tanker is filled with water upto ⅔ of its height and moving with uniform velocity. Suddenly the brakes are applied.
To find:
Direction of motion of water in the tank.
Concept:
Whenever any object is in a non inertial reference frame it experiences a force known as pseudo force which is directed opposite to the applied force.
Since the water (in the tanker) was present at the time of retardation of the tank , it experienced a pseudo-force .
Retardation force (brake) is the applied force in this case and directed backwards. So , the pseudo-force experienced by the water will be in the opposite direction i.e. in the forward direction.
So final answer:
Water in the tanker will move forward.
