In a vacuum, an object has no
(a) buoyant force.
(b) mass.
(c) weight.
(d) All of these.
To determine: The correct option for the statement “In a vacuum, an object has no”.
Answer:
The correct option for the statement “In a vacuum, an object has no” is option (a).
Explanation:
A vacuum can be generated by removing the air from the space using a vacuum pump. In a vacuum, there is no type of fluid acts. So, it is obvious there will be no oppose of fluid on an object in a vacuum as there is no weighing of the object in a vacuum, and hence there is no buoyancy.
The buoyancy force acts on an object by the pressure exerted by the fluid on the object. In a vacuum, an object has no buoyant force.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “In a vacuum, an object has no” is option (a).
