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 happens when you push an empty bottle underwater and why?

What happens is it shoots right back up to the top. This is because the bottle is always full of air. It's like bubbles, they go up to the top and pop either straight away or after only seconds.I wrote my answer this way cuz I like itLoL.


How does air pressure make bottle rocket fly?

Because the high air pressure inside the bottle is trying to go to the lower air pressure outside the bottle, after more air is pumped in until the pressure builds up too much, the bottle rocket will be force into the sky by the air inside it.


Explain how fluids exert pressure?

The only difference between the way a fluid exerts pressure and the way a solid does is that a fluid flows into any available space, and so it exerts pressure very evenly. If you want a more detailed analysis, ultimately physical matter exerts pressure by means of the electrostatic repulsion between electrons.


When glass stopper in a bottle is stuck it may sometimes be loosened by holding the neck of the bottle under a hot water faucet explain the physical principle responsible for this observed phenomenon?

With a few exceptions (notably melting ice) objects expand when heated. If you run hot water on a bottle neck, the heat is applied directly to the bottle and only indirectly to the stopper inside the bottle, so the bottle heats first, and thereby expands sooner than the stopper does. An expanded bottle will exert less pressure on the stopper.


Do you need two holes in the bottles to make a tornado in a bottle?

to make a tornado in a bottle you can 1. spin a single bottle full of liquid or 2. spin 2 two liter bottles atttatched to each other at the mouth with duct tape. No lids

Can air pressure alone cause a piece of bologna to be pushed into a bottle?

Excluding mechanical force or gravity (small bologna, large mouth bottle), it is only air pressure that pushes a bologna into a bottle. It is the pressure difference from the atmosphere and the lesser pressure (vacuum) in the bottle. There is no such thing as "sucking." It is all about pressure differential.


Why does a plastic bottle crush when you drink out of it?

Basically, its from the suction from the person drinking it. actually its form the external air pressure crushing it as you remove air from the inside, if you leave a small gap as you smoke this will not happen. it is important to remember you are only removing the equalising air form the bottle, it is the inequality that makes vacuumed bottles crush and shaken soda bottles expand as they have higher air prssure than the outside, check you physics mate


How can air pressure be changed?

Using the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 we find there are two variables we might influence in order to change the pressure of a gas. (P=pressure, V=volume, T=temperature in degrees Kelvin) By increasing or decreasing the temperature of the bottle, you can increase or decrease the pressure within. If the bottle is made of a flexible material, like plastic, you can apply pressure to the bottle. By either squeezing the bottle or increasing atmospheric pressure outside, you deform the bottle and decrease it's volume. Since the quantity of gas inside the bottle is constant, the decrease in volume increases the pressure. Likewise to decrease the pressure in a sealed flexible bottle, you can decrease air pressure outside.


What happens when you put a plastic bottle of water into the freezer?

The water will turn to Ice. The act of freezing the water causes it to expand in volume. As a result the plastic bottle will swell and deform slightly but it will not burst or break. A glass bottle When we put a plastic bottle in the freezer it contracts, whereas when we put water it dilates. So while the plastic bottle contracts and the water dilates so the bottle eventually contracts.

Why is magma forced upward towards the Earth's surface?

because as a solid, the earth is more dense, but as a liquid the magma expands, causing pressure. because as a solid, the earth is more dense, but as a liquid the magma expands, causing pressure.

When a bottle or can is opened why does it pop?

It "pops" only if there is a pressure difference between the inside of the container and the air pressure surrounding it. Soda tends to have a higher pressure (carbonic acid), many foods are packed so that they have a partial vacuum in the can or bottle. Note that bacteria usually form gasses during metabolism, thus a contaminated can would lose it's partial vacuum.


If you heat a bottle and put a balloon on it then apply heat from a hair dryer why does it inflate?

because heat expands things... and the heat expands the air in the bottle and the air in the balloon... the only place for the air to go, since it cannot expand the bottle... is out into the balloon, increasing the pressure there and inflating the balloon. :-)


What will change if the air in a closed bottle is heated?

No. It is because the air inside the closed bottle should be lessen than the one in the open air. So, the temperature will also be different. The one in the bottle should be more higher than the one in the open air.

Are there bottle nosed dolphins in Wales?

I think their are because only some dolphins are bottle nosed and only some whales have bottle nae shapes.
