Experiment: Candle under a balloon?
In chemistry class at school, we were given a question: If you put a candle under a balloon, it will burst but not explode. I found this question very confusing. Can someone explain why this is the case?
I recently heard about parity violation in the weak interaction and how it was demonstrated in the Wu experiment. My rough understanding is that this parity violation occurs because the axial-vector coupling in the VA theory of the weak interaction is stronger than the vector coupling, and the sign changes upon a parity transformation. This…
Hello, I have a question about infrasound. Could someone explain infrasound in simple terms, as it relates to rotor blades?
Helloooo😊, The distance-time law for the vertical throw upwards is given in our table as follows: y = v0 • t – ½g • t² But I don't know what y is… Well, of course, in a coordinate system, this is the vertical axis, so it must have something to do with height, but I…
Hello, I have a question about the following task (of the 5). Basically I know how to solve them V sound times t = 1/2 g t² T1 +t2 =3.2 But when I use all of this and try to solve it with the PQ formula, I get stuck because I have the following expression…
So me and my girlfriend are working on a physics paper and wanted to know if there is a formula for the dynamo, Google doesn't seem to be able to find anything, thanks
Replace the air in the balloon with, for example, hydrogen. Then you have your explosion.
Since air in the balloon is not combustible, at most the candle is blown out. That’s all. The air in the balloon is under low pressure. When the balloon tears, the air expands abruptly. Therefore, the bang, because the expanding air generates a pressure wave that perceives our eardrum as a bang.
So Knall, explosion no.
Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that the balloon was inflated and then was placed under the candle. Does that make any difference?
I was thinking
