Question
- A. The deeper point has greater pressure because liquid pressure increases with depth.
- B. The shallow point has greater pressure because less water is above it.
- C. Both points have zero pressure if water is still.
- D. Depth changes force but cannot affect pressure.
Answer
The correct answer is: The deeper point has greater pressure because liquid pressure increases with depth.
Explanation
The correct option is The deeper point has greater pressure because liquid pressure increases with depth.. This fits Uniform acceleration (HT only) in Forces and motion because it uses the named force or motion relationship in the situation, gives the correct unit or graph meaning where needed, and avoids the specific misconception in the distractors.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Calculating Acceleration
Students often confuse the variables in the equation v^2 - u^2 = 2as, leading to incorrect calculations of acceleration.
Ensure to clearly identify final velocity (v), initial velocity (u), and distance (s) before substituting into the equation.
