Further Investigations
-
Measure the air pressure in a soy
sauce bottle while you are pouring soy sauce
(or water) out of it. What does the air
pressure versus time graph look like? Why
do you think a soy sauce bottle has a
specially designed cap?
-
Why do full bottles 'glug' when you
pour them (milk jugs, soda bottles, etc.)?
Measure the air pressure in a bottle as you
are pouring it. Use your measurements to
explain your answer.
-
Why does a door sometimes slam shut
when a breeze occurs? Can you come up with
a way to figure out if this has something to
do with air pressure?
