Can an egg be forced into a bottle pushed by air pressure only?
Certainly! It is a common experiment. Take peeled hard boiled egg. Find a wide mouthed bottle that the egg can sit on without falling into it. A Frappicino bottle is about the right size. Take a piece of paper, about the size of the piece of toilet paper. Light it on fire and drop it into the bottle. As soon as the fire goes out, set the egg on the mouth. As the air inside cools, the egg will be pushed into the bottle by the air pressure.
What makes an egg go into a bottle?
force The burning of the matches heats the air in the bottle. The hot air is now expanded and thinner than the atmospheric pressure outside the bottle. When the egg is placed over the top of the bottle four things happen. First: The eggs acts like a seal on the top of the bottle. Second: The matches are starved for air and the flame dies out. Third: The air ( all gases) inside the bottle are cooling down very fast and contract. Finally the egg is pushed into the bottle due to the atmospheric pressure outside the bottle being greater and trying to equalize.
How much pressure does it take to break an egg?
It is not so much as how much pressure as where the pressure is applied. If you keep the egg upright and try to apply pressure at the top and bottom, the egg won't break as easily as much as when you apply it in the middle. The shape of the egg gives greater tensile strength to the ends but the middle is comparitively fragile.
How much pressure is in an egg?
600 lbs.
Why does the egg float in the water?
There is a small air-sac at one one of the egg (intended to supply air to a developing embryo) - that makes it buoyant.
How is drinking from a straw the same as an egg going into a glass bottle?
Drinking from a straw is the same as an egg going into a glass bottle, because air pressure in both cases is used to move something. In the straw, you reduce the air pressure in the straw, so the air pressure around the drink pushes it up into the straw and into your mouth. In the egg, you reduce the air pressure in the bottle, and air pressure around the egg pushes it down into the bottle.
How does air resistance affect an egg dop?
it affects it by air pressure velocity
What are some random experiments to do at home?
some random experiments you can do at home are... floating egg levitating egg breeding bacteria and a lot more
Why mountaineers in Everest have to use pressure cooker to boil an egg?
because there is very little air pressure up that high in the atmosphere.
What causes whole eggs to explode when cooked in the microwave?
They don't. Unless you cook them too long or let pressure build inside. All eggs have an air pocket that the chick would use if the egg was fertilized. If you heat air it will expand until the egg bursts. Use a pushpin or a needle to make a while in the wide underside of the egg to let air escape during cooking to avoid the bursting.

Air can apply pressure?
As we know air is everywhere and we can't survive without air. It consists of various gases, dust particles, water vapors, etc. Air exerts a particular pressure on every single thing. Air pressure is calculated with the help of an instrument called barometer and according to it, the Earth's atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch). We can't feel this pressure because it is everywhere. But if we are in a vacuum or in outer space where there is no air we have to use pressurized suits to protect our body. This is the reason why astronauts wear space suits. Here we are going to take a look at some air pressure experiments which will prove the existence of air pressure and will show that it has weight too.Interesting Experiments to Measure Air PressureThe experiments given below are easy to perform and need few things which are easily available at home. These air experiments for kids should be performed under the supervision of elders. Kids can also use these experiments as their physics projects.Marshmallows ExperimentTake a glass jar and empty it completely. Add small pieces of marshmallows inside the jar and seal it with a wine vacuum cork. Attach a manual pump over the cork and try to pump as much air out of the jar as you can. This will make the marshmallows pieces swell and you will observe them growing. Now break the seal. As soon as the seal breaks and air comes rushing inside the jar, the marshmallows cramp down and return to its old size.Water Glass ExperimentThis is one of the best experiments to measure air pressure. Take a glass and fill one-third of it with water. Place a cardboard over the mouth of the glass. The cardboard should be bit bigger than the glass' mouth. Now apply some pressure on the cardboard from the left hand and invert the glass with the right hand. Slowly remove the hand and see what happens. The water does not fall from the glass, retaining the cardboard and the water in the same place as before. This takes place because the air pressure outside, i.e., 14.7 psi, is heavier than the combined weight of water and air inside the glass.Balloon ExperimentThis experiment with balloon will show you what air pressure can do. Take a balloon and blow it. Now stretch the mouth of the balloon, pinching the ends of the mouth so that you can hear a loud squeaking noise. You can also alter this sound and pitch. But the question is why a balloon makes such sounds? The reason for it is air pressure. When you stretch its mouth it leaves very little space for the air to come out. So because of the air pressure the mouth of the balloon vibrates which makes such sound. Ask someone else to perform this experiment so that you can touch below the mouth of the balloon and feel the vibration.Egg ExperimentTake a hard-boiled egg and remove its shell. Take a bottle whose mouth is large enough to squeeze the egg inside it without squashing it but should also not easily allow the egg to enter the bottle. Now light a matchstick put it inside the bottle and immediately close its mouth with the egg. The match stick will utilize the oxygen inside the bottle and will create a low air pressure. High pressure outside the bottle will push the egg inside. This experiment with the air pressure shows how strong it can be.Paper ExperimentTake a sheet of paper and hold the edges near to your lips. Place it at the bottom of your lips and try to blow hard. You may have to put the paper in different places to find the exact position. Now when you blow it the paper will fly up. This is because of air pressure. As you blow from the upper side of the paper it creates an area of low pressure above the paper and high pressure at the bottom of the paper. This high pressure forces it to fly in an upward direction. By this concept you can understand how do airplanes fly. They reach the height only because of air pressure.Ping Pong ExperimentFor this experiment, you will need a ping pong ball and a funnel. Place the ball in the funnel, and hold it in such a way that the wider part faces the ceiling. Now tilt your head and blow into the funnel. No matter how hard you blow the ball remains in the funnel without falling out. This happens due to the fact that the air blown at high speed decreases the pressure in the funnel. The outer air pressure also pushes the ball. Reduction in pressure inside the funnel and push from external pressure make the ball remain inside the funnel.I hope you had a good time reading such simple, interesting and useful experiments to prove the air pressure around us. These air pressure experiments are basically for kids but elders can also enjoy doing it at home. So, try them and yes do let me know about your experiences.
How long does it take to suck an egg into a bottle during an air pressure experiment?
About 1 minute...i think!
How can air make things float?
=== === ---- Basic physics, bernoulli principal, air moving over a wing at a higher pressure than the air under the wing causes lift, (suction upwards), and is the basic principal of flight. A similar class room experiment is done with a vacuum cleaner and an egg. === ===
What is the abstract for egg in bottle experiment?
First, the science behind a hard-boiled egg: Egg whites are made of water and proteins. Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids, but in an egg the chains are clumped tightly together in individual spheres. (These are called "globular proteins.") When the egg is heated, the proteins and water molecules begin to move faster. As they move and collide with each other, the individual protein chains start to "unravel," eventually bonding loosely with other protein chains, forming a network of protein with water trapped inside. The consistency has changed from runny egg white to a soft solid!So how does this squishy-but-solid egg get mysteriously pushed inside the bottle? The answer is all about air pressure. When you first set the egg on the bottle, the air pressure inside the bottle matched the air pressure outside, so nothing happened. When you dropped the burning paper into the bottle, it caused the air inside to heat up and expand rapidly. That expanding air pushed the egg aside and escaped from the bottle; that's why you saw the egg vibrating. When the fire consumed all the oxygen inside the bottle, the flame went out and the remaining air in the bottle cooled down. Cool air takes up less space, exerting less pressure inside the bottle. (The egg acted as a seal to prevent outside air from getting in to fill the extra space.) The result was an unbalanced force-the force of the air pushing on the egg from outside the bottle was greater than the force of the air pushing up on it from inside the bottle. Voila - the egg was pushed into the bottle!How do you get the egg out again? You need to increase the pressure inside the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and tilt it until the small end of the egg is sitting in the mouth. Now put your mouth close to the bottle and blow, forcing more air into the bottle and raising the pressure inside. When you take your mouth away, the egg should pop out.
What is a really really easy science experimennt for a science fair that is so easy a prep student could handle it?
The old Egg In a Bottle air pressure test. You need matches, a hard-boiled egg, and a glass bottle whose mouth is a little smaller than the egg's diameter. Light one or two matches, and carefully but quickly drop them in the bottle (you want the matches to still be burning in the bottle. Then put the egg on the mouth fo the bottle. The matches burn up all the oxygen in the bottle, decreasing the air pressure. The greater air-pressure outside the bottle pushes the egg down into the bottle without anyone touching the egg.
Can you get a raw egg sucked into a bottle?
Yes, place a flame (match, candle, etc) inside the bottle, then quickly place an egg on top. As the air in the bottle burns, the pressure will drop and the egg will be sucked into the bottle.
