What happens when two different radius bubbles are connected by a hollow tube?
The larger bubble has a larger diameter and therefore less pressure than the smaller bubble since: p(in) = p(out) + 2y/r. p = pressure y = surface tension r = radius Therefore, pressure is inversely proportionate to the radius size. Since the smaller bubble has a smaller radius, and therefore, a greater internal pressure, it would "push" the air through the hollow tube to the larger one until the smaller one ceases to exist.
What is the relationship of pressure and area?
THe larger the area the less pressure. The smaller the area the more pressure. THink of someone stepping on your foot, first with tennis shoes then with a spiky high heel. WHich would hurt more?
Why is it more comfortable to lift a school bag with broad straps than thin straps?
Larger the area smaller the pressure. School bags usually have broad straps so that the weight of the bag may fall over a large area on the shoulder producing less pressure and less pressure, it is comfortable to carry heavy bag.
What happens to a balloon when pressure becomes less?
When the internal pressure in a balloon falls, the balloon get smaller and less buoyant.
Find the two consecutive positive integer such that 1.4 the smaller is 3 more than 1.5 the larger?
There is no solution. 1.4 times the smaller is less than 1.5 times the smaller which, in turn, is less than 1.5 times the larger. 1.4 times the smaller is, therefore, smaller than 1.5 times the larger and certainly not 3 more than 1.5 times the larger.
What makes a tennis ball bounce higher than a basketball?
The Tennis ball is smaller and has less weight than a basketball. The tennis ball will also have less drag.
Why do you divide to change a smaller unit to a larger unit?
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.
Is .15 less than .099?
Yes. If it was negative then .15 would be larger. Unless it’s negative then the smaller number is smaller. If negative, the smaller number would be larger. If that makes sense.
When a steadily flowing gas flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe what happens to its speed its pressure and the spacing between its streamlines?
When a steadily flowing gas flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe the speed of gas is decreased and pressure become increased and the spacing between the streamlines less and the streamlines come very close to each other.
Is 1 larger or smaller than 9?
1 is less than 9
Why do skis have a larger surface area?
The larger the surface area the more pressure can be spread out, therefore it is less likely to fall through the snow. As pressure = f / a.
The sum of two numbers is The smaller number is less than the larger number What are the numbers?
Hmmm. Let me see now ... "The smaller number is less than the larger number", eh ? I'm going to have to think that over carefully.
