When we fill 3/4 of water in a glass and keep a cardboard on it and suddenly invert it , Why water does not fall from it
Answers
Answer:
Air pressure.
Explanation:
The secret is right in front of your nose—it’s the air that we breathe. Air molecules in the atmosphere exert pressure on everything. Scientists know that at sea level air molecules in the atmosphere exert almost 15 pounds of pressure (okay, 14.7 pounds if you want to be exact) per square inch of surface area. Your body is used to feeling this kind of air pressure, so you don’t notice it.
When you first turn the cup upside down, the pressure of the air inside the cup and the air pressure outside the cup are equal. If you look closely, however, you’ll notice that just a little water leaks out between the card and the cup. This happens because the force of gravity naturally pulls down on the water. When some of the water escapes, this causes the volume of air (the space above the water inside the cup) to increase slightly. Even though the amount of air above the water stays the same, the volume occupied by the air is now greater and the air pressure inside the cup decreases. The pressure of the air outside the cup is now greater than the pressure inside the cup and the card stays in place. All of this is possible because the water creates an airtight seal between the rim of the cup and the card.
When the seal is broken (even a tiny bit), air enters into the cup, equalizes the pressure, and gravity pushes the water out. Poking a thumbtack-size hole in the cup allows air to seep into the cup from the outside. The pressure of the air molecules both inside and outside the cup stays the same, gravity takes over, the card falls, and the water spills.
Answer:
Because of air pressure
