If You Play-WPS Office
If you play ping pong, chances are you've come across the occasionally dented
ball. Restore its roundness by popping it in a pan of water. Warm the water gently
while stirring and the air inside the ball will expand as it heats up. The expanding
air will push out the dent and restore the ball's roundness.
3. Boyle's law has application in human breathing. As the lungs expands, the
volume inside the lungs increases and the pressure inside decreases (it follows
Boyle's law). As the pressure is in lower concentration inside the body, the air
moves inside the lungs from outsides. When you inhale, muscles increase the size
of your thoracic (chest) cavity and expand your lungs. This increases their volume,
so pressure inside the lungs decreases.
4. As the bubbles move upwards, the pressure on them decreases. This causes an
increase in volume. So, as the bubbles move upwards, their size increases. The
pressure under a liquid surface varies with depth. ... Thus, when a bubble rises
from below the surface it encounters less pressure. This causes the volume to
increase and the bubble rises in size as it rises from a depth
5. As a hot air balloons rise pressure decreases. Since the pressure is decreasing
as you rise through the sky, the temperature will also decrease, this
demonstrating Gay Lussac's Law. However, the temperature of the air inside the
hot air balloon is able to stay hot.
