Problem 9E
When an air bubble rises in water, what happens to its mass, volume, and density?
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1 of 3
When an air bubble rises in water,the bubble mass does not change,but volume will increases because its pressure decreases and density also decreases.here mass is same but volume is increased. No matter what happens to bubble,even if it sinks or rises,mass will remains the same throughout.as we go to deeper into water,the pressure increases with the depth.hence,when bubble rises,the pressure exerted on it decreases and volume increases. The mass remains constant unless it bursts.the mass of air in the bubble originally is now dissolved in water. We know that the mass of anything is constant as long as it is acted upon the same gravitational force.
