Question 15

Multiple Choice

Your apartment window opens 20 meters (65 feet) above a lemonade stand. Your friend lowers a long plastic tube out the window until its end enters the tank of delicious lemonade far below. She then begins to suck on the other end of the tube in hopes of getting a free drink. To her dismay, she never tastes a drop because


A) atmospheric pressure cannot support a column of lemonade 20 meters tall.
B) lemonade is too thick to pass through a tube that long.
C) the tube has an average density that is larger than that of lemonade, so the buoyant force cannot support its weight.
D) the tube's acceleration is downward, so it prevents the lemonade's velocity from being upward.
