Because your hand replaces the column of air which was 'pressing' on the content of the bottle. Your hand exerts more pressure than the air.

Why do you need a pointy base for a bottle rocket?

Right, just an illustration. Water is the propelllant that forces to bottle rocket upwards. Imagine a hosepipe. If you hold it in your hand the water trickles out slowly. If you put your finger over the end, a fast an strong spary comes out. This is the result of water pressure. Likewise, if the bottom of the bottle were the same diameter as the rest of the bottle, there would be little pressure, and the water would just fall out. The bottleneck of a bottle acts as a funnel, which increases the pressure and cause water to come out faster and last a little longer. This crests a concentrated upward force which propels the bottle upwards.


How do you shoot a top off a water bottle?

twist the bottom until enough pressure is built up that you can not twist anymore then hold the twisted end tight with one hand and with the other hand use your thumb to unscrew the bottle cap!


Why it is easy to remove air from balloon than from bottle?

This is because the air inside the balloon is a fairly high pressure than the atmospheric pressure air outside the balloon. On the other hand air pressure inside the glass bottle is already equal to the atmospheric pressure so it is difficult to remove air from a glass bottle.

Why do the sides of a plastic bottle buckle?

Air pressure can buckle the sides of a plastic bottle. If a bottle is capped, it isolates the air inside. At the time the cap went on, inside and outside air pressure were equal. Cool the bottle and the sides will buckle in because the inside air cools, becomes less dense and then its pressure goes down. Cap an empty soda bottle and stick it in the fridge for fifteen or twenty minutes. Look at what happens. Want more drama? Same empty soda bottle. Run a couple of cups of hot water out of the tap in it. Cap it and shake it for ten seconds or so. Uncap it and dump out the water and replace the cap right away. What is in hand is a bottle of pretty warm air that is isolated inside the bottle. Put that in the fridge for ten minutes. Major buckling.


How does water effect congestive heart failure?

increase in water will increase the blood pressure. high blood pressure usually precipitate the heart failure. Congestive heart failure on the other hand usually start with left ventricular failure and finally also cause the right ventricular failure. Patient will congestive heart failure usually will be given diuretic medication to remove excess water in their blood.


What is normal pump pressure range?

The lower the pressure the less work the filter is doing, 7 to 10 psi is a good pressure. Another tip would be to put your hand by the outlet where the water goes back into the pool if the water pushes your hand away you have good pressure also take a pressure reading at the filter, if you put your hand at the outlet and the water does not push your hand away take a pressure reading, backwash the filter, put your hand at the outlet again if it pushes it away go back to the filter look at the gauge and see what it reads now, and that would be your suggested low pressure for your filter.
