Why does water stay in a straw if you put your finger over it?

What's going on is that the water in the straw is pushed into the straw by the air pressure outside of the straw. As long as the pressure outside is able to overcome the force of gravity, the liquid will stay in the straw.

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
REY [17]
On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity.  I hope this helps, have a nice day!

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

0.19m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u) = 50×1000/60×60

=13.88 m/s

Final velocity(v) = 36.5×1000/60×60

=10.13 m/s

Acceleration(a) = v-u/t

=10.13-13.88/19.5

a= -0.19m/s²

-a = 0.19m/s²

The magnitude of retar dation is 0.19m/s²

Answer:

I = 9.82 10⁻⁷ W / m²

Explanation:

The intensity of the sound wave is the energy of the wave between the order per unit area of ​​the same

      I = P / A = E / T A

the energy is calculated by integrating the mechanical energy in a period, where the mass is changed by the density and ‘s’ is the amplitude of the sound wave

     I = ½ ρ v (w s)²

   

     I = ½ 1.35 328 (2π 530 2.00 10⁻⁸)²

     I = 221.4 (4.435 10⁻⁹)

     I = 9.82 10⁻⁷ W / m²

netineya [11]

Answer:

11.6mph South East

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 2.25hrs

Displacement  = 26.2miles south east

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

 Now;

       Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time taken}

       Velocity  = \frac{26.2}{2.25}   = 11.6mph South East
