You have two cups of water, each with a straw. One is pure water and one has a couple drops of dish detergent. In which can you blow a bigger bubble under the surface of the water. (Obviously you can blow bubbles in detergent water, this is not what I'm asking) Justify your choice.

Review. (a) Derive an expression for the buoyant force on a spherical balloon, submerged in water, as a function of the depth h below the surface, the volume Vi of the balloon at the surface, the pressure P0 at the surface, and the density w of the water. Assume the water temperature does not change with depth, (b) Does the bouyant force increase or decrease as the balloon is submerged? (c) At what depth is the buoyant force one-half the surface value?
The average human has a density of 945 kg/m3 after in haling and 1 020 kg/m3 after exhaling. (a) Without making any swimming movements, what percentage of the human body would be above the surface in the Dead Sea (a body of water with a density of about 1 230 kg/m3) in each of these cases? (b) Given that bone and muscle are denser than fat, what physical characteristics differentiate sinkers (those who tend to sink in water) from floaters (those who readily float)?
The spirit-in-glass thermometer, invented in Florence, Italy, around 1054, consists of a tube of liquid (the spirit) containing a number of submerged glass spheres with slightly different masses (Fig. P15.70). At sufficiently low temperatures, all the spheres float, but as the temperature rises, the spheres sink one after another. The device is a crude but interesting tool for measuring temperature. Suppose the tube is filled with ethyl alcohol, whose density is 0.789 45 g/cm3 at 20.0C and decreases to 0.780 97 g/cm3 at 30.0C. (a) Assuming that one of the spheres has a radius of 1.000 cm and is in equilibrium hallway up the tube at 20.0C, determine its mass. (b) When the temperature increases to 30.0C, what mass must a second sphere of the same radius have to be in equilibrium at the halfway point? (c) At 30.0C, the first sphere has fallen to the bottom of the tube. What upward force does the bottom of the tube exert on this sphere?
What is the cause of air pressure? Why does the pressure a fluid exerts on the walls of its container decrease when the fluid starts to flow through the container (e.g. a piece of tubing)? Why is it impossible to pull a fluid? What does it mean to "entrain a fluid" into a flow? When the gauge on a cylinder of gas reads zero, is the cylinder actually empty? Explain.
I have a problem that asks me the following. "What will be the maximum height to which the piston will rise?" Note that this is a problem that comes after these statements: "A 700 kg piston is initially held in place by a removable latch above a vertical cylinder. The cylinder has an area of 0.1 m^2; the volume of the gas within the cylinder initially is 0.1 m^3 at a pressure of 10 bar. The working fluid may be assumed to obey the ideal gas equation of state. The cylinder has a total volume of 0.25 m^3, and the top end is open to the surrounding atmosphere at 1 bar." I was able to solve for the velocity to be 13.77 m/s according to this part of the problem: "Assume that the frictionless piston rises in the cylinder when the latches are removed and the gas within the cylinder is always kept at the same temperature. This seems like an odd assumption, but it provides an approximate result that is relatively easy to obtain. What will be the velocity of the piston as it leaves the…
The combined gas law PV=nRT is a very useful equation. From the equation one can see the relationships between the variables. Scenario: I just climbed to the top of mount Everest and it is a beautiful day. For a celebration I want to eat a dehydrated meal with raw chicken. This is safe to do so? Questions to think about: What pressure is present on the top of Mt. Everest? Greater or less than the pressure at sea level? How does that relate to temperature? What temperature will water boil at the top of Mt. Everest? Will that temperature be hot enough to cook the raw chicken?
Hello I’ve completed this question but I got 3 out of 5 points on it for homework. When the temperature drops 4 below degrees. Celsius large water bodies do not freeze top to bottom. Instead only the top layer has ice. This is because Ice has less density than water. You know this because when you add ice to your coke ice floats on top however, usually solids have more density than liquids. What is this special property of water called? (My answer: the speciality property of water is called Polarity because it had polar molecule and water can bond with different types of polar molecules) I got told that this was wrong because it’s not polarity it’s something else. Explain in detail why ice (solid water) is less dense than liquid water. (My answer: ice or solid water id dense than liquid water is due to hydrogen bonds because it holds water molecules into place in solide places. When there’s a structure of ice the water molecules change and then when it melts the framework…
A large tank of water has a hose connected to it, as shown in (Figure 1). The tank is sealed at the top and has compressed air between the water surface and the top. When the water height h has the value 3.50 m, the absolute pressure p of the compressed air is 4.20 x 105 Pa. Assume that the air above the water expands at constant temperature, and take the atmospheric pressure to be 1.00 × 105 Pa.

A 2 cm diameter spherical fishing lure is cast into a pond and, though it submerges, it does not sink to the bottom but “floats” wherever it is placed (this is called neutral buoyancy). How many grams is this lure?
I put air in the tires of my car during the summer, while it was 28.8 °C outside (about 83.8 °F). My tires say to fill them to a pressure of 203,000 Pa. Boltzmann's constant is 1.38 * 10 ^ - 23 * J / K A) If my tires have a volume of 0.0100 m³, how many air molecules are in the tire? N = molecules B) These tires go all summer without losing any air, however come fall the temperature drops down to 8.65 °C (about 47.6 °F). Assuming the volume doesn't change (because it doesn't) what is the new pressure in my tires? P=
