Why do you think it does not move ?versine said:
Because I saw the answer lol.Baluncore said:
Are you asking why the first container will accelerate? Imagine the gas exerts the same pressure on all walls. All wall parts have an opposite wall part, and their opposite forces cancel. Except for the piece of wall opposite to the hole, which has no opposite wall part, and thus the force acting on it is not canceled. So the whole container will accelerate to the left.versine said:
The second container will initially accelerate to the right for the same reason. The exterior pressure force on the wall part opposite to the hole is not canceled, because there is no wall opposite to it.versine said:
The air inside the can is under pressure, and when there is a hole in the can, the air will escape out of the hole to equalize the pressure inside and outside of the can.
The size of the hole affects the rate at which the air escapes. A smaller hole will have a higher pressure gradient, causing the air to escape faster.
No, in order for air to escape from a can, there must be a hole or opening for the air to flow through. Without a hole, the air will remain trapped inside the can.
Yes, the shape and material of the can can affect the rate at which air escapes. A thinner can or a can with a smoother surface may allow for faster air escape compared to a thicker or rougher can.
As the air escapes, the pressure inside the can decreases. This is because there is less air molecules inside the can, resulting in a lower pressure. Eventually, the pressure inside and outside the can will equalize.
