Question

4. The splashing of a liquid resembles an oscillation. The restoring force in this scenario will be due to which of the following?

Potential energy
Kinetic energy
Gravity
Mechanical energy

Please show all of your work.

Answer 1

Gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

The splashing of liquid resembles like an oscillation .

The force acting on liquid to pull it down is gravity and the force bouncing it back is caused by normal reaction

• Hence gravity is the answer

Answer 2

Gravity

when liquid splashed and is at the top, the force bringing the liquid back down to the midpoint is gravity. This brings the liquid back to its equilibrium level.
