Because gas particles in the air like particles of all fluids are constantly moving and bumping into things, they exert pressure. The pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere is greater close to Earth's surface and decreases as you go higher above the surface.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Fill roughly one-third of a cup with water. Then, cover the mouth of the cup completely with a flat, hard cardboard. Using your hand to keep it in place, turn the cup upside down. When you remove your hand, the the cardboard stays in place.
-
One would expect that due to gravity, the water will fall, and even the cardboard will. However, it does not, which means that something must be applying an upward force on the cardboard. This is nothing other than air pressure, which applies a force across the surface of the cardboard in an upward direction.
- Thus we can demonstrate that air exerts pressure, because otherwise, the water would have fallen.

Most common are destructive tests, such as stress, fatigue and micro sectioning tests. There are also methods that allow non-destructive testing (NDT), so the material can be still be used after testing. Common methods are ultrasonic, X-ray, HF Eddy Current, Radio Wave testing or thermography.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) The change in energy is the difference between the final energy and the initial energy.
ΔE (energy change) = Ef (final energy) - Ei (initial energy)
The negative sign shows that energy is lost to the environment. Hence 0.334 J is lost to the environment.
b) According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed but transformed from one form to another.
The oscillating object loses energy due to wind resistance, friction between the spring and the object. Given that the air is frictionless, hence the energy loss is due to friction which is converted to heat.
