Answer:

When we press a rubber suker on a smooth surface, it sticks to the surface because there is very little air between the suker and the smooth surface to push from inside.

In simple terms, the rubber cup sticks to a surface due to the difference in atmospheric pressure.

  • A rubber cup is made comprised of a hollow hemisphere of rubber with a stick attached to the top. The rubber cup attaches to a surface when pressed against it.
  • Atmospheric pressure is the result of molecules in the air exerting pressure on the objects around them.
  • The number of air molecules determines the pressure.
  • All of the air molecules inside the rubber cup escape when we press it against a surface.
  • As a result, there are fewer air molecules inside the cup than there were previously. Therefore, the pressure outside the cup is greater than the pressure inside.
  • As a result, the cup is subjected to two forces.
  • However, the outside force is greater than the inside force.
  • Thus the rubber cup's net force is directed towards the surface and the cup is pressed against the surface.
