When you blow under a piece of paper, the air flow creates a low-pressure area under the paper, causing it to bend towards the side with higher pressure (usually the top side). The pressure difference between the top and bottom of the paper results in a lifting force that causes the paper to bend.

Why if you put a scrunched piece of paper on the rim of a bottle and you blow it why does it not go in and pop back out?

When you blow into the bottle, you increase the air pressure inside. This increased pressure pushes against the crumpled paper, keeping it in place on the rim. Additionally, the shape and weight of the paper help to keep it from being pushed into the bottle.


Why does the suspended piece of paper go down as you blow air under it?

The moving air under the paper reduces the air pressure. Since the air pressure above the paper is unchanged, it pushes down on the paper. The shape of an airplane wing forces the air passing over the top to move faster than the air beneath the wing. The difference in air pressure causes the wing to lift.


Who did the experiment when you crumple a piece of paper inside the opening of a bottle and blow?

It is a common physics experiment where the crumpled paper inside the bottle creates a seal, trapping air. When you blow into the bottle, the air pressure increases, causing the paper to move outward due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bottle. This experiment demonstrates principles of air pressure and pushes the paper out of the bottle.


Why you should not use a piece of burning paper to light the Bunsen burner?

the gas from the Bunsen burner will cause the existing flame to flare and burn the entire piece of paper and your fingers - and the lab. it's difficult to blow out the burning paper.


Why does a sheet of tissue paper rise when you blow air above the tissue paper?

Tissue paper is not very dense. I assume it is one piece and is on a flat surface. When blowing down straight and in the middle, air is able to move through the tissue paper because it is porous. You keep forcing air down and the molecules are bombarding each other and when completely through the tissue paper the fastest way to escape and allow the other molecules through is by escaping under the tissue paper and outwards. This is what lifts the tissue paper.

Why does a piece of paper blow upwards when you blow on the top?

When you blow on the top of a piece of paper, the air you blow creates a region of low pressure above the paper. This low-pressure area draws the paper upwards, causing it to rise. Additionally, the fast-moving air you blow creates momentum that lifts the paper.


Why does a peice of paper rise as you blow over it?

When you blow - you're moving the air that was static over the top of the paper. This lowers the air pressure relative to the air underneath, so it pushes upwards on the piece of paper.

Why do some people blow their eyeglasses before wiping them with a piece of cloth or tissue paper?

When you blow on the glass, your breathe condenses and provides a small amount of fairly hot water on the lens which helps clean it.

Where is the piece of paper on pirate outpost?

The hidden map piece is in the yellow tooth of the big skull rock.You have to push the box of dynamite all the way down so that it's in the water and then push it under the yellow tooth. Then go over to the cannon on the left of the yellow tooth and click on it. It will fire and hit the dynamite which will blow up the yellow tooth. Then you will see the hidden map piece. Jump up and get it.
