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 can a egg survive a 30 foot fall?

no


Does a bottle thrown from a speeding car continue to move forward or instantly fall to the ground?

It moves forward at the same speed the car is traveling. It will fall to the ground in short order.

Why did the egg fall in the bottle?

That's a weird question, but here goes. Light a couple of matches and put them in bottle. I assume in your case it would be a beer bottle. Quickly place the boiled egg over bottle opening. The burning of the matches will convert the oxygen in the bottle to carbon dioxide, creating a vacuum and sucking the egg into the bottle. Another way is to stick the egg in some vinegar for an hour. Vinegar will soften the egg so it can easily slide in. You could also put water in a pot and let it start to boil. After the water is heated take the water and put it into the glass bottle and quickly put the egg on the top of the bottle. That should compress the oxygen just as good as a match could. You should get the same reaction if done properly. You can also bring the egg out by putting some baking soda on the egg and pouring some vinegar in the container.Quickly turn the container upside down.

Can an egg be sucked into a glass bottle?

If you're referring to the common science demonstration, the answer is that the heated air in the bottle expands. When it re-cools (after the egg has been placed on the neck of the bottle) it is at a much lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere; the weight of the air above it is then sufficient to push the egg into the bottle.


Can you use a plastic bottle for egg in a bottle?

No, because the plastic is flammable.


How do you get an unboiled egg into the bottle?

Absolutely! This is a very common experiment. A Frappuccino bottle is the perfect size for a peeled hard boiled egg. First drop a piece of paper into the bottle. Then take a lighter a light the paper on fire. Quickly place the egg into the bottle opening. Observe what happens!


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.
