when cold water is poured over tightly corked tin can containing steam,the tin can gets crushed. What crushes the tin can gets crushed. What crushed the tin can?
Answers
Explanation:
Atmospheric pressure crushed the tin can.
While heating, the water inside evaporates and forms steam which expands. After cold water was poured the tightly corked can, the steam contracted and their was an area of low pressure inside the can. The atmosphere, being at a higher pressure, crushed the tin can, since fluids travel from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
Answer:
The air Pressure
Explanation:
Because there is no air pressure inside the can that is reduced air pressure, the air pressure from outside acting on all sides on the tin crush it.. Full explanation:
Air pressure (or Atmospheric pressure) . When cold water is poured over a tightly corked can, the steam condenses into water and creates a partial vacuum inside the can. As there is no air pressure inside the can, the air pressure from outside acting on all sides on the tin crush it.
