What happens if you put a marshmallow in a microwave?
They usually get very big and in some cases they blow up!they basically explode, but more descriptively swell and collapse in the middle
Is marshmallow a common noun?
Yes, the word 'marshmallow' is a common noun, a general word for a marshmallow plant, or a soft confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, albumen, and gelatin.
How long does it take to suck an egg into a bottle during an air pressure experiment?
About 1 minute...i think!
What happens to a vacuum when put in water?
it will suck the water up, depends what type of vacuum, and it could electricuit u !!! (that gd enough)
What happens to the air inside a balloon when you put it in a warm place?
The air inside expands.
What happens to the marshmallows in the syringe as i push the plunger down What happens to the marshmallows in the syringe as i pull the plunger up?
When you push the plunger of a syringe down into a marshmallow, it puffs up with air. When you pull the plunger of the syringe up while it is in the marshmallow, it will shrink.
What happens to the marshmallow after it goes inside hot chocolate?
When you plop the marshmallow into your hot chocolate the marshmallow absorbs the hot chocolate. When you do that the marshmallow gets soggy
When you suck from a straw you make your mouth bigger so what happens to the air pressure in your mouth?
It increases.....
What side will a marshmallow land on if you toss it in the air?
In my mouth
What happens to the volume of a marshmallow when you heat up particles?
decreases
How does air get into a marshmallow to make it bigger?
Air does not necessarily go into marshmallows to make them expand. In fact, marshmallows are already full of air in tiny bubbles. There are two mechanisms that cause marshmallows to expand, both resulting from an imbalance in the pressure inside these bubbles compared to that of the atmosphere. The first way would be if the marshmallow is placed inside a vacuum, or any other low pressure environment. Because there is a fixed amount of air in the bubbles (from when the marshmallows were made), when the external pressure pushing against the outside of the marshmallow decreases, the air inside the marshmallow will expand so that its pressure is equal to that of its atmosphere. The other mechanism is perhaps more familiar, and that is in a microwave. What happens is that when the microwave heats the water in the marshmallow, it warms the air and the sugary goo around it. This causes the air to expand. This is like what happens when you bring balloons into a heated building during winter- the heat causes the air molecules to move faster, and bump into the sides of the container with more force, therefore pushing outward. Again the pressures inside and outside must equal each other, so the bubbles in the marshmallow expand. Furthermore, when the sugar is heated, it becomes more pliable, which allows the air to expand more easily.
When can water flow up instead of down?
A waterspout is an event where a rotating vortex of low pressure air above the ocean can suck seawater up into the air to a great height. the same thing happens,without the vortex, in a drinking straw when you suck.
How does air pressure affect marshmallow?
it shrivels up due to the air pressure but in a microwave it expands due to heat.
How do you explain to a kid why you can't breath on the moon?
When you breath, you suck in air. There is no air to suck in on the moon - so you can't breath there.
What does mean in the exal?
suck air
What is opposite of suck?
If "suck" is to draw something in (air, liquids), then "spit" or "expel" is to eject something out.
Do fans suck in air?
They can depending on placement
