The deeper you go, the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up.

Answer:

Pressure is force per unit area. In this case the force is primarily the weight of the overlying rock. So , in very simple terms, the deeper you go the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up. It is basically the same thing that happens in the ocean and in the atmosphere.

A 1-kg plastic block is neutrally buoyant when submerged in water with a density of 1 g/cm3. If the same block is placed, such t

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

-2 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the acceleration of the block is as follows:

The volume of the block is

V = 1kg ÷ 1,000 kg/m^3 = 1 ÷ 1,000 m^3

Now at the time of submerging in the oil

Net force is

$m_g - F_B = m \times (-a)\\\\m_g - v\times S_{oil} \times g = -ma\\\\a = (\frac{v}{m} \times S_{oil} - 1) g\\\\= (\frac{1}{1000} \times 0.8 \times 1000 -1 ) \times 10\\\\$

= -2 m/s
